The meeting will also host the BSMB medal 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 on our cross location theme “ECM biology across tissue sites. Location, location, location” but also in our open session on the extracellular matrix, accepting abstracts on every Matrix-related topic.

Prior to the meeting, the ECR Satellite event will have as a theme “Improving research culture for wider benefit”, providing an opportunity for early career researchers to network, discuss career pathways and ways to improve research culture.
