Program + Events on Lysosomal Diseases

“WORLD” is an acronym for “We’re Organizing Research on Lysosomal Diseases”, and WORLDSymposium is now considered the premier international forum for gathering experts from around the globe who are actively involved in Basic Science, Translational Studies, and Clinical Applications for lysosomal diseases. The meeting also offers an Exhibit Hall featuring state-of-the-art medical and laboratory equipment, products, and services and the Patient Advocate Showcase.

LIVE Event in San Diego, California, USA

Planning for WORLDSymposium 2024 is officially underway, and everyone is excited to meet again face-to-face in San Diego, February 4-9, 2024. Plans are in place for a LIVE in-person gathering in San Diego at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego Hotel. In addition, the program will be available ON DEMAND after the conference ends to allow for registration for those who are unable to attend in person.
