Dear APS patients:

We are organizing the 13th International Congress of Antiphospholipid antibodies in Galveston, TX, from April 13th-16th, 2010. We have secured outstanding speakers from all over the world that will contribute to an exceptional scientific program.

Importantly, this year we will have two patients/doctors forum discussion groups. Prof. Munther Khamashta (St Thomas’ Hospital, London, UK) and Prof. Michael D. Lockshin (Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY) will conduct those sessions.

Attendance/participation is free for patients. If you wish to register please check our website:
