CMT Australia is proud to represent the CMT CoMmuniTy and this week saw us attending the latest Asian Oceanic Inherited Neuropathy Consortium (AOINC) meeting online. Led by Professor Marina Kennerson from the Northcott Institute at Concord and A/Prof Manoj Menezes from the Kids Neuroscience Centre at Westmead, the AOINC belief is that bringing together a network of clinicians and scientists will enable collaboration to achieve greater insights into the causes and natural history of inherited neuropathies in the region thereby leading to the discovery of effective therapies and improving patient care. Today saw presentations on CMT subtypes and the ongoing research and discoveries being made. A/Prof Manoj Menezes presented on Motor neuropathies of childhood and Dr Gonzalo Perez-Siles spoke on distal motor neuropathy.

On this ANZAC Day, the ANZAC Research Institute joins the nation in a moment of reflection and deep gratitude. We honour the servicemen and women who have served, and continue to serve, our country with courage, selflessness, and an enduring spirit of mateship.

The ANZAC name is one we carry with immense pride and responsibility. While the origins of this day are found in sacrifice on the battlefield, our mission at the Institute is to honour that legacy by advancing the health and well-being of the community through medical research.

Today, we pause to remember those who gave their lives and acknowledge the resilience of our veteran community. Their history inspires our future as we strive for excellence in discovery and care.

Lest we forget.
