Topic
Diagnosing multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) can be challenging, as its varied and often subtle symptoms resemble those of other neuromuscular disorders. Delayed recognition can lead to progressive motor weakness and long-term disability. Advancing knowledge of MMN pathophysiology, particularly the roles of anti-GM1 antibodies and complement activation, is paving the way for more targeted and effective treatments. Join us for an engaging TheraTalk featuring an expert panel of neurologists and neuromuscular specialists from the US, Canada, and Europe as they explore the evolving landscape of MMN care. Through dynamic discussion, live polling, and interactive Q&A, participants will gain practical, evidence-based insights into: Improving diagnostic accuracy across a wide variety of clinical presentations | Understanding complement-driven disease activity and therapeutic targeting of C2 (illustrated with a 2D animation) | Evaluating the safety and efficacy data for emerging therapies | Expert strategies for integrating monitoring and patient-centered approaches into clinical practice. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with experts, ask questions in real time, and access exclusive clinical tools, including downloadable MMN diagnostic and clinical trial pocket guides, to support ongoing care decisions.

Jeffrey Allen is a Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN. He completed his neurology residency training at Tufts University, and neuromuscular fellowship at Harvard. Dr. Allen’s research has focused on defining the clinical and diagnostic boundaries of the inflammatory neuropathies, as well as investigating treatments for those disorders. He serves as chairman of GBS/CIDP Foundation International Global Medical Advisory Board. Dr. Allen is also involved with the Peripheral Nerve Society, Inflammatory Neuropathy Consortium, American Academy of Neurology and American Academy of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine.
Luis Querol (Valencia, 1980) has a degree in Medicine from the University of Oviedo. He completed his residency in Neurology at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona.
Dr. Katzberg is a neurologist and neuromuscular specialist at the Prosserman Centre for Neuromuscular Diseases at UHN in Toronto. He received his training in biochemistry and medicine at the University of British Columbia, neurology at the University of Toronto and fellowships in Electrodiagnostics (EMG) and Neuromuscular Medicine at Stanford University, where he also received a Master’s in Clinical Epidemiology. Dr. Katzberg is currently a Professor of Medicine and Associate Member of the Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS) and Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (T-CAREIM) at the University of Toronto. He is Division Head of Neurology at the University Health Network and Sinai Health and Krembil Family Chair in Neurology and Clinical Investigator at the Krembil Brain Institute.
