The NextGen Neuromuscular Crew took a road trip to Kansas City to participate in the 2nd Annual Chace-ing ALS Pickleball Tournament. Needless to say there was a lot of volleys, laughs, and a few tears along the way.

Several of our researchers attended the 2025 Neuromuscular Study Group 26th Annual Scientific Meeting held in Stresa, Italy. The Neuromuscular Study Group (NMSG) is a consortium of scientific investigators from academic and research centers who are committed to the cooperative planning, implementation, analysis, and reporting of controlled clinical trials and other research for muscle and other neuromuscular diseases.

Dr. Castoro Lectured at The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation (HNF). Lecture: “Symptom and Pain Management for CMT”

Dr. Kathryn Moss, Assistant Professor of PMR, presented the lecture titled “Molecular Disruptions at the Node of Ranvier: Mechanistic Insights into Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease”.

The University of Missouri School of Medicine sponsored a table. Tigers on the Prowl (TOTP) is a volunteer-run organization showcasing the work of artists in a unique way that provides a platform for local charities to raise awareness and funds. Their organization has raised over $1,300,000 for local charities to date.

Fundraising through the walk drives innovation toward a treatment and cure for ALS. Individuals that participated in this event had a direct impact on people living with ALS and their families at a local level through fundraising efforts for education, support groups, and access to care and advocacy.

Dr. David Arnold, Executive Director of NextGen Precision Health Initiative and Professor of PM&R, was the featured speaker presenting the lecture titled “Defining and Targeting the Aging-Disease Nexus to Prolong Healthspan”.

NML members had a potluck dinner at Dr. Arnold's house.

Several NML members attended the 2025 SfN meeting in San Diego, CA.
