Program at a Glance: 

The scientific program committee has worked diligently to present a fantastic program format. The workshop will cover the two broad areas of Bone Biology and Bone Therapeutics. The two themes will be explicitly brought together with two overlap sessions focused on Translational Science.  The format will be as follows: 

 

Keynote Lectures summing up the most important topics in the field today. This will include Hot Topics lectures, selected shortly before the meeting, covering the latest developments in bone and related science.

Oral Presentations that will be chosen from abstracts submitted in advance of the meeting. 

Poster Sessions will remain a fundamental pillar of the meeting and will cover the entire field of skeletal biology and bone therapeutics.
