14th Congress of International Society of Bone Morphometry (ISBM)

14th Congress of International Society of Bone Morphometry (ISBM) is organized by International Society of Bone Morphometry (ISBM) and will be held from Sep 23 - 26, 2019 at Sheraton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Resort, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.

The main goals of the ISBM Congress are to emphasize the importance of traditional morphometric techniques in the field of bone research and to make attendees aware of new technologies that result in refinements and advances in bone morphometric analyses. Prominent investigators will present recent advances in the areas of osteoporosis treatment, bone cancer, the coupling of bone resorption and formation during bone remodeling, osteocyte morphometry and function, lineage tracing of bone cells, bone imaging (intra-vital, single cell, and subcellular), the influence of biomechanics on developing bone morphology, and the relationship between marrow fat and bone function. An understanding of the proper use of morphometric techniques facilitates the education and training of basic scientists and clinicians in bone research. The amiable, intimate environment of the ISBM Congress is conducive to interactions among scientists that promote research collaborations.

Who Should Attend?
The ISBM Congress consists of presentations on basic and clinical bone and cartilage research and practical training sessions in bone morphometry. Attendees of the ISBM Congress can include:

• Basic Scientists and Clinicians in Academia and Industry
• Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows in Training
• Technicians with an Interest in Bone Morphometry

Benefits of Attending:
You should attend this meeting if your research involves use of traditional bone morphometric techniques, and you want to learn about recent advances in more innovative morphometric techniques such as lineage tracing of bone cells and bone imaging at the tissue, cellular, and subcellular levels. You may also benefit from training sessions in sectioning undecalcified bone with a microtome, identification of bone cells in histologic sections, and bone imaging with a microCT. You will also have the opportunity to network with national and international scientists in the amiable, intimate environment of an ISBM Congress.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
