2023 BMES CMBE Conference

"Cell State Transitions in Development, Disease, and Regeneration"

This year's theme is intended to disseminate and integrate new advances in mechanobiology, developmental biology, single-cell technologies, bioimaging, and synthetic biology, with the ultimate goal of engineering better biological systems to transform our understanding of the rule of life, as well as translating discoveries in ways that ultimately benefit human health.  Recently, many new advances have been achieved in these areas, allowing us to develop integrative approaches in understanding cell state transitions in development, disease, and regeneration.  Within this central theme, investigators from diverse fields will come together in one room to exchange ideas and brainstorm new integrative strategies for pushing this field forward.

Membership dues payments are final and will not be refunded once processed. *Non-attending (no-show) registrants will not be refunded unless they are unable to make it to the 2023 BMES CMBE Conference due to extenuating circumstances (e.g., airline-initiated flight cancellations, illness from or diagnosis of COVID-19 during or right before the conference, medical emergencies and injuries sustained by the registrant or direct relative, natural disasters, court/jury duty summons, military personnel deployment, death of an immediate family member, etc.). These registrants must submit reasonable verification of their inability to attend via email to membership@bmes.org prior to the conference's conclusion on Saturday, January 7. Reasonable verification includes, but is not limited to, notice of flight cancellation provided by your airline, an injury report or physician's note issued by a licensed practitioner, copy of your official court/jury duty summons, military orders, obituary, etc. Failure to submit this documentation and correspondence by 5:00 p.m. ET on January 7, 2023, will result in 100% forfeiture of all registration fees paid, regardless of circumstances surrounding the absenteeism—no exceptions.
