Conference Description
The Musculoskeletal Biology and Bioengineering GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The theme of the GRS will be “Translational Approaches for the Maintenance and Restoration of Musculoskeletal Health” which complements the key themes of the GRC. The GRS will focus on basic and translational research approaches that are novel to the field of musculoskeletal health. We aim to foster an environment that enhances the scientific communication abilities of graduate students, postdocs, and early career scientists with scientific experts and the general public to disseminate musculoskeletal research. Trainees will be provided with the opportunity to share their cutting-edge research focusing on unique animal models to assess disease pathogenesis and translational approaches for the maintenance and restoration of musculoskeletal health. The content of the scientific sessions will be selected from submitted abstracts. We will include a mentorship panel to provide our junior investigators with advice, insights, and strategies for scientific communication and to help guide their future career transitions.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by June 2, 2026. Please check back for updates.
