Bone Research Society (BRS)

About
The Bone Research Society (BRS), formerly the Bone and Tooth Society, was founded in 1950. The BRS is one of the largest national scientific societies in Europe dedicated to clinical and basic research into mineralised tissues, and is the oldest such society in the world. Meetings are held annually, attracting a wide audience from throughout the UK and beyond. The presentations are traditionally balanced between clinical and laboratory studies. The participation of young scientists and clinicians is actively encouraged.

The Society's aims
• To act as the premier forum for research into the calcified tissues, both clinical and basic.
• To promote and facilitate the study and research of rare metabolic and hereditary bone diseases.
• To advance the education of the public about the science of calcified tissues and related subjects.
• To act as the main professional body for scientists and physicians researching calcified tissues, and to interact with other organisations on these matters.
• To hold scientific meetings to disseminate and discuss results from studies and research.
