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.

Omid Yousefian, MD

Alumni Fellow, Cardiovascular Disease

Dr. Omid Yousefian chose University of Arizona for Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship training because of the breadth of expertise here. "It doesn't matter if you want to pursue general cardiology or a subspecialty, the opportunities are here," said Dr. Yousefian. "We have outstanding mentors who make you work hard, but are always available to help you. The patient diversity adds to the training here." The electrophysiology faculty, who are doing ground-breaking research and novel techniques, have solidified his interest in this subspecialty field. 

A lover of nature, Dr. Yousefian enjoys Tucson's surrounding, particularly the canyons that provide hiking opportunities.
