The 2007 Collagen Gordon Research Conference will be held at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH, July 22nd to 27th. This conference has convened biennially for the last 36 years. The scope of the Collagen conference reflects the complexity of the collagen genome, the diversity of the collagen proteome and variations that result from mutations or physiological alterations. The conference will continue to recognize the central roles of collagens in a wide variety of extracellular matrices in all organs, interactions with other matrix macromolecules and cellular constituents as well as the roles of matrix in cell function, development and pathology. The primary objective is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of recent contributions at the leading edge of the field.

The 2007 Collagen Gordon Research Conference Program is presented below. All meeting attendees are encouraged to present their work in poster format at the meeting. There will be two poster sessions for this purpose. You are welcome to provide a title and bring a poster even if you did not submit an abstract at the time of application. We look forward to seeing you in New London.
