The Dup15q Alliance/Angelman Syndrome Foundation Science Symposium 

The Dup15q Alliance/Angelman Syndrome Foundation Science Symposium brings together an outstanding community of researchers and clinicians to share unpublished work, participate in conceptual discussions, and reflect on the big picture as it relates to Angelman Syndrome, Dup15q Syndrome, and pathways toward effective treatments. It provides the opportunity to educate and inspire our future scientists. In 2023, we are proud to offer a collaborative training with Angelman Syndrome Foundation, to provide even more opportunities for professionals to receive training and resources based on the 15th chromosome abnormalities.

Past Symposiums

Since 2005 Dup15q Alliance has sponsored research roundtable meetings. These meetings provide an opportunity for researchers to discuss their current research on chromosome 15q duplications, engage in conversation with the Dup15q Alliance Board of Directors regarding future research priorities, and explore opportunities for future collaborations.
