TIMESLOT: Thursday, April 6, 2023 at 16:00 Paris Time
BIOSKETCH: “I am a Neuropathologist and Myopathologist and board certified in general Neurology and in Neuropathology. Currently I am the head of the neuromuscular diagnostic and research unit in Berlin at the Charité Hospital. I also act as co-Director of the German reference center of Neuromuscular diseases. My primary research interest is in juvenile and adult forms of Myositis and inflammatory nerve pathologies. Several colleagues from all over the world have spent some time with us in the lab and in diagnostics as well as in research. It has always been a pleasure to welcome guests but also, it is my declared aim to support their research. I also have a focus in ultrastructural myopathology, which we use in diagnostic routine as well as in research questions related to the identification and characterization of morphological features. In addition, I am an Associated Editor of the journal Neuromuscular disorders (NMD), and an Executive Editor for Neuropathology and applied Neuropathology (NAN).
My commitments also extend to the European Neuromuscular Centre where I am a member of the research committee. I have organized several workshops, and I have participated in numerous ones.
The 19th WMS meeting in 2014 was organized by Hans-Hilmar Goebel, Arpad von Moers, and myself as a local chair in Berlin. I have close scientific and society-related bonds to numerous individuals in the society.”

THEME: Fatigue in Neuromuscular Disorders
PRESENTER: Dr. Nicole B.M. Voet (Radboud University Medical Center, the Netherlands)
TIMESLOT: Thursday, April 27, 2023 at 16:00 Paris Time
BIOSKETCH: Nicole Voet works at the muscular diseases outpatient clinic at Klimmendaal rehabilitation center in Arnhem, and at the Radboudumc Rehabilitation Department. At both locations, she sees patients with slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders, in particular patients with Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD). In 2018, the rehabilitation and neurology departments at Radboudumc jointly launched the multidisciplinary FSHD outpatient clinic, where patients from across the country are seen for diagnostics and advice.
In 2016, she defended her PhD thesis, which focused on the effect of aerobic exercise and cognitive behavioral therapy in patients with FSHD. She received the international PhD Award Rehabilitation Medicine in 2017 for her dissertation. Her current scientific research focuses partly on improving the quality of life of patients with FSHD and partly on further analyzing fatigue and the effect of exercise and exercise in patients with neuromuscular disease.

He is also Deputy member of the Board of Supervisors, RWTH University Hospital.
His research is focused on pathomechanisms of neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases including protective and regenerative processes with a special focus on the role of endoplasmic reticulum pathology and disturbed proteostasis and autophagy.
The methods employed include clinicopathological investigations of biopsy and autopsy tissues of human patients which are combined with basic research approaches using cell culture and mouse models, providing a unifying translational view. Genotype-phenotype correlations in hereditary neuromuscular disorders are performed in cooperation with clinical and genetic partners.
