Each year, Bobby Jones CSF hosts an annual colloquium to identify and disseminate research associated with the study of Chiari malformation, syringoymelia and related disorders. Researchers present their recent work and engage in meaningful discussions with others who investigate these issues. The 2020 Research Colloquium took place entirely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic on September 18, 2020.
The goal of this meeting is to disseminate important research results to medical professionals, scientists and the general public. It is only through the consistent sharing of research results, clinical experiences and pathological theories between clinicians and scientists that we can ever expect answers for the patients and families who need them so desperately.
The proceedings of this meeting are available for purchase in written format for interested professionals and experts. You can also check out presentations from past Research Colloquia.
Bobby Jones CSF is dedicated to disseminating research, even after meetings are held. Meeting presentations are always recorded and shared on our website.
