2012 New Directions in Biology and Disease of Skeletal Muscle Conference

The New Directions in Biology and Disease of Skeletal Muscle Conference is returning to New Orleans, Louisiana in 2012. The fifth biennial meeting is being organized by H. Lee Sweeney and Elizabeth McNally. The conference will highlight current developments in muscle biology, disease, and therapy with presentations by leading international researchers.

The previous four meetings brought together muscle researchers who seldom attended the same specialty conferences. Many important scientific relationships and productive collaborations resulted from these interactions.  As in the past, this meeting will provide a unique opportunity for collaborations to develop and thrive while exposing young scientists to a cross section of muscle and neuromuscular disease research.

The meeting format will be highly interactive and will be a combination of platform presentations and poster sessions. Submitted poster abstracts also will be considered for inclusion in relevant discussion sessions. This year we are featuring two new additions to the program:

Join us in New Orleans for an excellent meeting and a private Riverboat Cruise!!
