The New England Statistical Society (NESS), alongside the 2021
New England Rare Disease Statistics (NERDS) Organizing Committee,
is pleased to announce that we have finalized the agenda for a
series of virtual webinars (Nov-Dec) focused on the current state of
statistical and clinical research in rare disease drug development.
We had a very successful virtual NERDS 2020 event last year, where
we had well over 200 registrants. This year we aim to keep the
conversation going with several webinars that are aimed to keep
our rare disease community connected and informed of recent advances
and research. We all look forward to a day when we will be able to
safely meet again in person for this event as we had done in 2019.
Registration is now open at https://nerds.nestat.org.
Once you register, you will receive notifications and invitations to
future webinars, as well as all NERDS announcements.
