Conference 2020
The TSC Conference 2020 is taking place in Sydney on 2 and 3 May. This is a unique opportunity to find out more about TSC, latest treatments and research and to meet other people living with TSC and expert TSC health professionals. Registrations are now open.
Dr Darcy Krueger (pictured), Director of the Tuberous Sclerosis Clinic and Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and Neurology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, will be the keynote speaker. Dr Krueger will join local and national experts in discussing the diagnosis and management of TSC with topics including epilepsy, autism and the evolution of new treatments such as mTOR inhibitors and cannaboids. The conference, which only takes place every four or five years, has two streams – one for people affected by TSC (TSC Community) and another for TSC Health Professionals.

About Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)
TSC affects more than 2,000 individuals in Australia and thousands more carers, families and friends who live with the impact of the disease. TSC tumours can grow in any organ of the body, commonly affecting the brain, skin, heart, lungs and kidneys. TSC can cause epilepsy, developmental delay and autism. There is no known cure, but with appropriate support most people with TSC can live fulfilling lives.
