The health and well-being of the mitochondrial disease patient community is a top concern for the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF). It is for that reason that UMDF has postponed and/or cancelled many of our education/support type LIVE activities. UMDF is closely monitoring the latest information regarding the coronavirus (COVID19) from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). UMDF, in partnership with its Scientific and Medical Advisory Board (SMAB), will continue to provide updates for our community as this situation develops.

We were fortunate to have the following doctors lined up for a virtual meeting for April 29th and are now focusing the Q&A around the coronavirus.

Please submit your questions prior to April 28th – the following link provides a form to direct your questions to a specific doctor (areas of interest for each doctor is listed on the form). If similar questions are asked, we will combine them to increase the number of unique questions. Please only ONE question per person and it will be easier for the panelists if kept brief.
