Muscle function is vital for life. The 1 Muscle Biology in Health and Disease conference will bring together leaders in the field to exchange exciting new fundamental discoveries and the latest developments in skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle biology. A key objective of this conference is to facilitate collaborations between basic researchers and clinical scientists to accelerate discoveries at both the basic and translational level. Given the effect of aging and chronic diseases on muscle, the conference will provide a platform for discussions on how to treat diseases that impact muscle function and human health.
