TMAU/FMO3 webinar 23rd Sept : will you attend ?

This is the 2nd of a series of webinars which are a joint initiative betweeen rareconnect.org and TMAU advocates from the TMAU community. The webinar host and platform provider is Rob Pleticha, online patient communities manager of rareconnect.org.

This webinar :
Professor Shephard and Phillips have a long interest in TMAU and FMO3 enzyme. They are based in London universities and their work and research is based around the 2 groups of enzymes ; the cytochrome P450 enzymes and the FMO enzymes. Since FMO3 is one of the FMO group of enzymes, they have a natural interest in TMAU and have written research papers on FMO3 and TMAU . For this webinar they will provide a presentation on TMAU and FMO3 and will afterwards take questions from the audience.
