Saturday, February 3
1:30pm – 3:30pm
Room 104

Agenda:

Plenary Session: (1:30-2:30) This session will feature three talks that span basic, translational, and clinical considerations of how osteoimmunology impacts fracture repair. Dr. Allison Pettit from Mater Research and Mater Research Institute-University of Queensland will share Basic Science insights. Dr. Hans-Christoph Pape from the University Hospital Zürich will discuss Clinical considerations. Dr. Georg Duda from Berlin Institute of Health at Charité will present from the Translational vantage.
