Please join the Dystonia Support & Advocacy Group of San Diego for a virtual meeting on Saturday, October 28, 2023, from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM PT.

All are invited to join us for what promises to be a very informative meeting. This is not an SD-specific group and we invite individuals with ALL forms of dystonia to join us!

The topic is CLINICAL TRIALS FOR DYSTONIA.

Our guest presenter is DAVID PETERSON, Ph.D. Dr. Peterson is an Associate Research Scientist at the Institute for Neural Computation at UCSD and the Computational Neurobiology Laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Dr. Peterson received a Ph.D. in Computer Science, with an emphasis on Neuroscience, from Colorado State University. He has Bachelor’s degrees in Electrical Engineering and Business Administration from the University of Colorado, Boulder. The primary focus of his research is adult-onset focal dystonias. He is the Principal Investigator for research projects funded by the DoD’s Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program and the National Institutes of Health and is on the Medical & Scientific Advisory Council for the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation. He leverages advances in computational neuroscience to develop improved assessments for clinical trials and models of how the brain networks are altered in order to help identify future treatment strategies.
