In light of improving genetic health, two lectures will be given on genetic diseases in dogs.

Two international speakers, experts in their field, will give a presentation about a genetic disease in the dog.

  • The first lecture will be given by Dr. Catherine André, head of the Catherine André Group at Rennes University, and is titled “Canine epilepsies and neuropathies: relevant models for the genetics and therapies of these human genetic diseases”.
  • The second lecture is by Dr. Paul Mandigers, a veterinary specialist in neurology and internal medicine at Utrecht University, and will be about polymyositis in the Kooiker dog.

After the lectures, there will be an in-depth discussion with the experts and the audience.
