From November 7th to 9th, the Citrin Foundation participated in the 65th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Inherited Metabolic Diseases (JSIMD).
A highlight of the meeting was the Citrin Deficiency Symposium, hosted by the Foundation on November 8th. The symposium focused on recent advances in novel therapies and cellular models for citrin deficiency. Moderated by Kimitoshi Nakamura and Kimihiko Oishi, the well-attended session opened with an overview presentation by the Foundation’s Co-founder and President, Barbara Yu, followed by presentations from Joseph Baur, Julien Baruteau, and Jun Kido—each leading Foundation-sponsored projects in citrin deficiency.
The Foundation also organized a citrin deficiency luncheon, bringing together scientists, clinicians, and close collaborators interested in advancing citrin deficiency research. This gathering provided a space to exchange new ideas and strengthen relationships with key partners.
The Foundation’s annual participation in the JSIMD meeting strengthens our international collaborations and crucially reinforces our deep ties with Japan—a region central to our mission.
