11 FOP Presentations Will Be Made At The Annual Meeting
Each year, the American Society of Bone & Mineral Research (ASBMR) holds a scientific meeting for researchers to present their latest findings in bone research. More than 3,000 scientists from around the world attend this important research meeting.
This year, at the 2019 ASBMR Annual Meeting, FOP clinical trials are featured in a Rare Bone Disease Working Group Meeting. There will also be 11 presentations related to FOP! We would like to congratulate the researchers who had their abstract or presentation accepted by the ASBMR, see below. The 2019 ASBMR meeting will be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, September 20 to 23.
