Register Today for the Next ASBMR Member Spotlight Series
on Wednesday, June 30 at 1:00 PM EDT
 

The ASBMR Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee invites you to join the next session of the ASBMR Member Spotlight Series on Wednesday, June 30 at 1:00 PM EDT. Tune in as Noriyoshi Kurihara, DDS, Ph.D., Research Professor at Indiana University, presents on the contribution of osteoclast-IGF1 and osteocyte on Paget lesions formation in Paget's bone disease, and Jon Paul Elizondo, Ph.D., Texas A&M University, College Station, presents jump training and sclerostin antibody treatment as preventive countermeasures to microgravity-induced bone loss. Following each presentation, there is an opportunity for Q&A and discussion with the audience.

This monthly series aims to highlight the research of ASBMR members in a collaborative setting, and aims in particular to shine a light on the research being done by ASBMR members belonging to groups underrepresented in biomedical research (i.e., Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders). ALL members at all career levels are invited to participate in these sessions.
