SEBM Announces Speaker Lineup for 2024 EBMC in Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla., August 26, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine (SEBM) is proud to announce its speaker lineup for the upcoming Experimental Biology and Medicine Conference (EBMC) at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista South from October 13th to 16th, 2024. The speaker lineup will help SEBM continue its legacy of fostering collaboration and innovation among scientists across various disciplines.

EBMC will serve as a vital platform for experimental biology scientists from diverse backgrounds to converge, network, and exchange cutting-edge research findings. With a rich history spanning over a century, SEBM and its renowned journal, Experimental Biology and Medicine, remain steadfast in their commitment to advancing basic, translational, and clinical research.

This year, EBMC is honored to welcome Dr. Michael Friedlander, Ph.D., Vice President for Health Sciences and Technology and Senior Dean for Research at Virginia Tech School of Medicine, as the keynote speaker. Dr. Friedlander's expertise and insights promise to enrich the conference experience, inspiring attendees to delve deeper into the realms of this incredible industry.

The EBMC conference will also feature presentations from Robert Schwartz at the University of Houston. Dr. Schwartz is a pioneer in defining the regulatory paradigm that specifies cardiac muscle differentiation. His recent research focuses on the trans-differentiation of somatic cells to cells of other lineages, such as cardiac muscle. His talk at the Experimental Biology and Medicine Conference 2024 in Orlando, FL will focus on the ability of synthetically modified mRNAs coding for specific regulatory factor combinations to regenerate and repair infarcted heart muscle in situ, offering a new therapeutic avenue for heart disease.

Also presenting at EBMC is Agnes Lou from the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Lou is the leader in the study of neuroinflammation, neuroprotection, and neuroregeneration. Her talk at EBMC 2024 will focus on her work on microglia and how promoting homeostasis of these cells is critical for brain cognition.

Finally, the 2024 EBMC will feature an Arnold Caplan memorial session. This session will include presentations from Dr. Mark Pittenger from the University of Maryland, Dr. John Hare from the University of Miami, and Dr. Joanna Kurtzberg from Duke University on topics of regenerative medicine with a focus on Dr. Caplan's groundbreaking research.

EBMC warmly welcomes attendees and late-breaking abstract submissions covering a wide spectrum of research topics. Interested individuals can explore journal categories on the SEBM website and discover opportunities to contribute to the advancement of biomedical science.

SEBM's mission is to promote investigation in the biomedical sciences mainly through publication of a peer-reviewed journal, Experimental Biology and Medicine, and to foster the career development of students, physician-scientists and new investigators. Founded in 1903, the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine (SEBM) is a not-for-profit scientific society formed to promote investigation in the biomedical sciences by encouraging and facilitating the interchange of scientific information among disciplines. The principal means for achieving this purpose are the publication of a peer-reviewed journal, Experimental Biology and Medicine, and support of regional and national meetings. The Society also fosters the career development of students and new investigators. SEBM has nearly 1,000 members worldwide the majority of whom have their doctoral degrees and are actively engaged in various fields of biomedical research. Membership dues include discounts to Society events and author publishing charges for our journal, Experimental Biology and Medicine.
