2025 ASBMR Symposium on Musculoskeletal Impact of Immune and Skeletal Cells Crosstalk: Bench to Bedside
Thursday, September 4, 2025

The 2025 ASBMR Symposium will be held on Thursday, September 4, 2025, one day prior the 2025 Annual Meeting, at the Seattle Convention Center in Seattle, Washington, USA. Organized by Laura Calvi, M.D. and Natalie Sims, Ph.D., the goal of this topical meeting is to to discuss novel interactions between immune cell populations and skeletal cells that impact musculoskeletal health, including pathogenesis of rheumatologic, infectious and age-associated disorders, in order to envision future therapeutic, analytical and diagnostic tools.
