SYMPOSIUM MISSION
The
Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center Musculoskeletal
Repair and Regeneration Symposium continues to seek and 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:
• New insights in bone
• Tissue
engineering and regenerative medicine
• Tendon and ligament
regenerative healing
• Advances in musculoskeletal diseases
GOALS AND FEATURES
This program attempts to address
current issues in musculoskeletal repair and regeneration, and disease
treatment. The presentations and discussions will focus on up-to-date scientific
discoveries and the potential impact of these findings on patient treatment and
management in the future. This meeting
features:
• 8 outstanding speakers from the United
States and Europe
• Lightening e-poster session and Young
Investigator Award session

REGISTRATION
Registration is closed.
An email with the information to virtually join the
meeting will be sent to the registrants’ email prior to meeting. Please note
that only those who registered will be granted access.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS FOR
POSTER SESSION AND YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AND CLINICAL YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARDS
We invite investigators to submit abstracts for the virtual lightening
e-poster session, which is an
important component of this conference.
Abstracts
from graduate and medical students, residents and postdoctoral fellows will be
considered for Young Investigator Awards
and Clinical Young Investigator Award. Four winners, three from Young
Investigator category and one from Clinical Young Investigator category will be
announced and each will be presented with a prize and a plaque. To qualify, you must register and submit an
abstract to Dr. Zeynep Seref-Ferlengez, the chair of the Poster Session and
Young Investigator Award committee, by September 11, 2020 via
email to: sereffer@montefiore.org.
The
abstract is limited to 1 page. Include in your abstract the study's objective,
a brief statement of methods, a summary of the results obtained, conclusions,
and significance. Please follow the template here. As the Symposium aims to promote communication
within our region, we encourage you to submit your recent work (within 2020) to
this Symposium, including work that may have been submitted to other meetings.
Please note: Two PowerPoint slides with 2 minutes audio
must be submitted for all accepted posters by October 2, 2020.
