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 AND DATE
October 3, 2019
LeFrak Auditorium (Room 151)
Albert Einstein College of Medicine
1301 Morris Park Ave. Bronx, NY 10461
