Overview
FishBone 2021 will be a day-long workshop on Friday June 18, 2021 as part of the ECTS 2021 Digital Congress. The workshop will be a virtual event.
Format
This day-long workshop is open to clinicians, biologists and geneticists dedicated to bone research, with a focus on fish models of human skeletal disease. The workshop seeks to encourage interaction between established and potential fish users and bone researchers from different disciplines. All presenters are encouraged to provide background to bring participants to a basic level of understanding, as well as to present new data.
