Annual Herscot Center for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Symposium 2019

Boston, MA US
May 14, 2019

The Herscot Center has the opportunity to bring together members of the TSC medical community from the Massachusetts General Hospital and the LAM Center from Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The symposium aims to unite members of the TSC community from the many specialties that fall within the broad reach of the disease, promoting the exchange of research and ideas as well as the connection of symptoms to the picture of the whole person diagnosed with TSC.

The Herscot Center seeks to see past the diagnosis of TSC, to the individual, while helping patients seamlessly connect to all aspects of their care. The symposium, hosted by Dr. Elizabeth Thiele, Director of the Herscot Center for TSC, will attract a vast array of physicians and researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital as well as from Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for MGH physicians and care teams who treat TSC patients, TSC researchers, and anyone else interested in learning about TSC.
