Tucson Myofilament Meeting, May 23-26

The Tucson Myofilament Meeting is an international 3.5-day Sarver Heart Center conference that brings together approximately 250 scientists focused on the structure and function of the myofilaments that comprise the contractile machinery of muscle. Spanning topics from molecular biophysics to heart and skeletal muscle disease mechanisms and drug development, the meeting is known for its highly interactive, collaborative, and informal atmosphere, with strong engagement of early career investigators.

Traditionally held biennially at the University of Wisconsin, the meeting will continue at the University of Arizona beginning in May 2026, offering a distinctive Tucson setting that fosters scientific exchange and community building.

FLI MedCats Firstgen Mentorship Workshop with Medical Directive

Tuesday, October 27, 2020 - 7:00pm
Event Location: 

Zoom - please email <grat@email.arizona.edu> for a link if you have not received one in the listserv

The new affinity group, First-generation Low Income MedCats (FLI MedCats), is joining the firstgen premedical group Medical Directive to officially launch our mentorship network. At this event, medical student mentors will meet with multiple premedical student mentees for a casual social hour that will help inform the mentor/mentee matching process. This will be a way for us to get to know each other and better match up mentors and mentees based on shared interests and good vibes. In general, we will discuss barriers to getting into medical school and overall advice about medical school. We will be joined by Dr. Wayne Morgan and Dr. Victoria Murrain who are members of the advisory board for FLI MedCats. 

Please join us on Zoom if you are available (all med students are welcome to join and provide insight)!
