“It was a privilege to be able to represent the Marfan Trust at this event and to have the opportunity to present the stories of these incredible patients! I was very surprised by the number of people working in the field of connective tissue disorders who approached me during the poster session, and it was great to be able to discuss the work that they’re doing across Europe!

I would just like to say thank you to you all again for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the incredible work you do at the Marfan Trust, and I am very excited about the future of therapies for these patients!

I have been informed that my abstract will be published in Nature’s European Journal of Human Genetics supplement before the end of the year.”

Here is Elsa in the summer of 2023 discussing her research on neonatal Marfan syndrome.
