Musculoskeletal Research Symposium at Vanderbilt
February 24th, 2025 from 8:30 am-6:30 pm
This first ever scientific event will bring together clinicians, biomedical research scientists (basic, translational, and clinical), and trainees (predocs, postdocs, residents, and fellows) to learn about and discuss recent advances in the broad field of musculoskeletal research. Objectives of the symposium include: (i) fostering a network environment among musculoskeletal scientists from different disciplines and (ii) providing a platform for early-career faculty and trainees to present their research.
Starting on November 1 and ending on January 12, trainees and other investigators at any career stage can submit an abstract to be presented at the symposium. Top ranking abstracts will be eligible for awards and will be presented from the podium. All abstracts will be presented as a poster during 2 poster sessions (lunch and reception).

Registration is free. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be served throughout the day including a closing reception with drinks and hors d’oeuvres. The schedule of presentations will be posted by January 12, 2025. Speakers will be from VU, VUMC, Meharry, and other Nashville area Universities. The Keynote Speaker from an institution outside of Nashville will be announced in late November.
