We are pleased to announce that the 2018 Philadelphia Spine Research Symposium will be held on Friday, November 2nd at the University of Pennsylvania. We have an exciting program planned, including a keynote talk from Dr Anthony Lowman, Professor and Dean of Engineering at Rowan University, focusing on the development and translation of novel nucleus pulposus therapies. As always, the meeting will cover all areas of spine research spanning from basic to clinical, and encompass the broad areas of development, pathophysiology, aging, pain, therapeutics and diagnostics. We encourage everyone to submit their latest research for inclusion in the program as either podium or poster presentation. There will be awards for the best presentations by trainees.
Please circulate this announcement among your departments and colleagues. We look forward to welcoming you to the University of Pennsylvania on November 2nd, 2018.
