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.

POSTPONED- Discover BIO5 Open House

Wednesday, April 1, 2020 - 5:00pm to 8:00pm
Event Location: 

Thomas W. Keating Bioresearch Building
1657 E. Helen St., Tucson, AZ, 85721

POSTPONEMENT
Given the unknown variables, potential health implications, and public concerns related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have decided to postpone our Discover BIO5 event originally scheduled for 4/1. We look forward to rescheduling, most likely in early fall, and hope that you will agree to participate/attend again at that point in time. 

There was no perfect decision to be made on this, and we appreciate everyone's input and support in making the best decision we can putting the safety and peace of mind of our faculty, staff, volunteers, participants, and guests first and foremost. 

We will continue to keep you informed and re-engage you as a rescheduled date starts to take shape. Thank you for your continued interest in and support of BIO5.
