On September 5th, 2024, at the Institute of Child Health, UCL GOS, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of JDCBS. Established in 1999, this research study has now evolved into a national cohort study with 17 active centres, making it the largest of its kind for Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) and related inflammatory myositis conditions.
The event featured insightful talks reflecting on JDCBS’s growth and how standard healthcare practices in JDM have transformed over the years.
We were especially grateful to have several key funders join us, whose presence helped make the event even more successful.
A heartfelt thank you to all the patients and families who are part of JDCBS — none of this would be possible without your involvement.
Finally, we extend our sincere thanks to everyone who participated in this special celebration.
