Thank you to our keynote speakers @AlisonBoyceMD and Sundeep Khosla!

That’s a wrap on our 2024 symposium!

[Center for Musculoskeletal Research @CSR_MGH]

What a great way to end our symposium!

Sundeep Khosla took us on a tour of his group’s extensive body of work in his keynote presentation entitled “Sympathetic tone and cellular senescence: Leveraging integrative physiology for new osteoporosis treatments”

@BethBragdon closing out the selected oral abstract session with a thought-provoking presentation on “Defining Stem Cell Activation following Fracture”

[Center for Musculoskeletal Research @CSR_MGH]

Great science continues!

We just heard from Tadatoshi Sato in his talk entitled “Recombinant AAV9-mediated gene editing in Osteogenesis Imperfecta”
