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.

UA-COMT MedPride wanted to create an event to cap off Pride Month as well as honor some of the important Black and Brown voices within our community. We are collaborating with the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, the Student Diversity Advisory Committee, and the African-American Medical Student Association on a virtual screening of Brother Outsider, a documentary depicting the life of Bayard Rustin, an openly gay African-American man who was an advisor to Martin Luther King Jr. and a lead organizer of the March on Washington.  We hope you will join us via Zoom from 6-8 pm on Tuesday, June 30th to watch this film together, educate ourselves about this important figure in Civil Rights history, and participate in a discussion around intersectionality. 

Register in advance for this meeting:

We at MedPride would also like to acknowledge the incredible contributions of the Black transgender women at Stonewall, without whom, Pride would not exist! If you would like to learn a little more about the origins of Pride Month or the incredible contributions of Black transgender women like Marsha P Johnson to the LGBTQIA+ rights movement, then please click here!

Happy Pride! We hope to see you Tuesday!
