8th Annual Musculoskeletal Repair and Regeneration Symposium - Virtual Event
Symposium Mission
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine Musculoskeletal Repair and Regeneration Symposium seeks to expand the knowledge base within the field, and to foster creativity, collaboration and networking between researchers throughout the region. This year's meeting will emphasize recent advances in translational research in four areas:
- Current concepts in musculoskeletal joint diseases and treatments
- "Hot topics" in bone
- Muscle pathology seen in the setting of tendon injury
- Tissue Repair and Regeneration and Immune Modulation
Conference Location
LeFrak Auditorium (Room 151) Albert Einstein College of Medicine 1301 Morris Park Ave. Bronx, NY 10461
