[Histonet] Hard Tissue Forum - August 14th, 2010 in Philadelphia, PA

[Jack Ratliff]

Attention All Hard Tissue Histologists!!!!
 
The Hard Tissue Committee of the National Society for Histotechnology is proud to present a one day Hard Tissue Forum. This first of its kind event will be held Saturday, August 14th, 2010 in Philadelphia, PA, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Doubletree Hotel Philadelphia. Join us as we seek to further our knowledge and understanding of the histology and analysis of bone and how this information can better serve in the diagnosis of bone related diseases and the efficacy and safety of therapeutic treatments.
 

Don’t miss out on this one time compilation of information solely dedicated to bone as presented from both scientists and histotechnologists actively working in the field. This forum will also be a perfect opportunity to network with professionals within the “hard tissue niche”. We hope to see you in August!
