FSHD European Trial Network (ETN)

In 2021, FSHD Europe established the FSHD European Trial Network (ETN) to support collaboration to reach trial readiness, building on current research on FSHD in Europe.

Nicol Voermans as chair and Pascal Laforet as vice chair; George Padberg and Baziel van Engelen as advisors coordinate this project, initiated by FSHD Europe.
