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:

Nature’s Matrix: Evolution to Innovation
April 5, 2027
The meeting will include invited speakers TBC and host the Fell Muir award and lecture. You are invited to submit abstracts for selected talks and posters, making this a great opportunity for early career and more established researchers to share their work across broad themes of ‘inspired by nature’ ‘microbial and microbiome, ‘engineered matrix’ and ‘biology/disease modelling’ but also in our open session on the extracellular matrix, accepting abstracts on every Matrix-related topic.
