The Advances in Mineral Metabolism AIMM/ASBMR John Haddad Young Investigators Meeting will be held Tuesday, April 6 (afternoon registration, plus an evening session) through Saturday, April 10, 2010 (evening session), in Snowmass, Colorado. We adjusted the schedule as best as possible, given limited availability of the conference room, and taking into consideration the Passover and Easter holidays.
The meeting is held in the Janss Auditorium of the Snowmass Conference Center, in a small wraparound conference room, which can accommodate approximately 80 people. When registration reaches that number we are unable to accept more. The goal of this conference is to discuss important or evolving concepts in bone biology and clinical bone disease in a small and informal group setting. Past participants in this meeting have enjoyed the relaxed environment, excellent scientific sessions, and serious scientific and clinical discussions.
2010 AIMM Program: Session topics (tentative)
- MicroRNA in Skeletal Development
- Heterotopic Ossification
- Reproductive Contributions to Bone
- Skeletal Dysplasia and Development
- Vascular Calcification
- Histone Codes and Gene Regulation
- Pluripotent Stem Cells and Skeletal Regenerative Medicine
Open Sessions: Meet the Professor Sessions
The atmosphere is enhanced by the midday break (9:30am - 4:30pm), which can be used to enjoy a variety of activities available in the Aspen/Snowmass area, such as downhill and cross-country skiing, tennis, hiking, and relaxation. This is a great opportunity to discuss science while having fun. Meet The Professor sessions will also be held during the midday break. One of the enjoyable features of this meeting has been the ability to combine an interesting scientific/medical program with family recreation. We encourage you to bring your family with you.
We will celebrate AIMM’s 25th year at a special dinner on Wednesday evening.
