The BSMB holds 2 meetings each year at venues the length and breadth of the UK. These can be focused in a particular aspect of matrix biology or be more general. Details of forthcoming and past meetings are below:
ECM biology across tissue sites. Location, location, location
April 13, 2026
Hosted by Dr. Douglas Dyer from the University of Manchester. We look forward to welcoming you to the Whitworth Art Gallery, near the centre of action-packed Manchester. Amid artful surroundings, we invite you to a stimulating two-day immersion into the function of the cellular and extracellular matrix in different locations. Namely the cell surface glycocalyx, the basement membrane, the musculo-skeletal system and the tissue interstitial space.
In an open, friendly environment we will discuss how the community is working across the tissue context to make advances in our understanding of basic biology and how this informs disease pathology. We will also try to agree on the key outstanding questions that need to be addressed in each of these contexts.
