Welcome to ICORD!
International Conferences for
Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs
- It can now be confirmed that Russia will be the host of ICORD 2013, which will be held in St Petersburg, November 1-3, 2013. We are preparing an exciting program for the conference that will follow the concept of the previous years in Washington, Rome, Buenos Aires and Tokyo. In addition to the sessions of the conference, this will be a relevant meeting to all ICORD partners in order to discuss about the future activities of ICORD. So this year the General Assembly will be an extra strong reason to attend the meeting and we encourage new members to join ICORD. We hope you can come and contribute actively in benefit of everybody. Warmly welcome!
On Behalf of the Board of ICORD,
Virginia Llera, MD
President of ICORD
