Dear Colleagues,

We are thrilled to announce that the « early bird » registration is now open for the upcoming Matrix Biology Europe 2024 (MBE2024) conference, taking place in the beautiful and charming city of Lyon, France, at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon from September 24-27, 2024. With a history of drawing over 400-500 matrix scientists, MBE meetings have established themselves as a unique space for showcasing your work and engaging with a highly qualified scientific community.

MBE2024 aims to serve as the international stage for significant discoveries and new concepts in the field of extracellular matrix research. It provides a platform for future research endeavors, featuring 23 invited speakers. The conference will bring together scientists from academia, medicine, and industry to discuss all facets of extracellular matrix research.

• ECM Biosynthesis, Dynamics & Epigenetics
• ECM Targeting and Signaling in Homeostasis and Cancer
• ECM-related Inherited Diseases
• ECM in Inflammation & Immunity
• Stem Cell Niche & Tissue Regeneration
• ECM Ageing
• ECM in Morphogenesis
• ECM in Tissue Repair and Engineering
• ECM Biomechanics and Mechanobiology
• Tissue remodeling and fibrosis

As a unique addition to the traditional MBE program, MBE2024 will kick off with a half-day satellite meeting Youth@MBE2024 (September 24, morning), exclusively organized by and for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. We strongly encourage students and post-docs to attend, as this meeting promises to significantly contribute to expanding their professional network.

You are thus cordially invited to join the meeting and encourage your team members and colleagues to submit abstracts for short talks or posters. We have planned ample space for short talks, long poster sessions, and several breaks, considering them an integral part of the meeting. Additionally, we are introducing an ECM Breakthrough session that exclusively features talks on the latest findings.
