About the Conference

MARCO II is the second international scientific meeting dedicated to Menkes disease, copper metabolism, and the broader landscape of rare copper-related disorders — bringing together leading researchers, clinicians, policy-makers, patient families, and philanthropic stakeholders.

Building on the success of the inaugural MARCO I meeting held in Málaga in September 2024, this two-day conference deepens the scientific dialogue around diagnosis, treatment, gene therapy, and the lived experience of those affected by rare copper diseases. Researchers will present the latest advances in copper homeostasis, novel therapeutic strategies, neonatal screening, and the intersection of policy and access.

Topics include diagnosis, treatment, gene therapy, neonatal screening, copper homeostasis, patient-centred research and healthcare policy.
