Joint Meeting of the American Society for Matrix Biology and the Society for Glycobiology

November 11-14, 2012

Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, San Diego, CA

2012 will mark the first joint venture for the Society for Glycobiology and the American Society for Matrix Biology. After a successful guest symposium in 2010, the two groups decided to join forces and create an innovative program for this 2012 meeting set for November 11th – 14th in San Diego, CA.

The joint ASMB/SFG 2012 Meeting represents a unique opportunity for scientists and medical professionals involved in research, clinical and applied disciplines related to matrix biology and glycobiology to meet, discuss, learn and network. With both society's non-profit focus on investigation and education and an innovative and original program planned, attendance is expected to exceed 400 participants including both ASMB and SFG members and non-members. Participation by the International Society for Matrix Biology (ISMB) and a number of other guest societies is sure to enhance the value of our attendees' experience.
