2025 Events - Online & In-Person

The Cure JM Virtual Town Hall streamed live from the American College of Rheumatology Convergence Conference—the largest gathering of rheumatology experts in the world.

During this special session, the Cure JM team shared real-time updates from the front lines of cutting-edge Juvenile Myositis research. Top clinicians and researchers discussed the latest discoveries and how they’re being translated into real-world advances in JM care.
