We are delighted to welcome you to the 23rd Multidisciplinary Meeting for Nervous System Diseases, BRAIN 2027, to be held on 30-31 January 2027 at the CUHK Medical Centre.
This year's programme will focus on Functional Neurosurgery & Advances in Lesioning, Neuro-rehabilitation & Brain - Computer Interface (BCI), and Onco-Functional Balance & Translational Cancer Neuroscience. Through these themes, BRAIN 2027 will highlight advances in neurosurgical treatment and lesioning techniques, emerging technologies and approaches to neurological rehabilitation, as well as developments in neuro-oncology that seek to optimise tumour control while preserving neurological function and quality of life.
We are pleased to welcome neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuropathologists, neuro-oncologists, nurses, biomedical engineers, clinical and basic scientists, and other neuroscience professionals from Hong Kong and across the Asia-Pacific region. We hope BRAIN 2027 will provide a valuable platform for sharing knowledge and experience, exchanging new ideas and fostering multidisciplinary collaboration.
We look forward to welcoming you to BRAIN 2027 and to another stimulating and rewarding meeting.
