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.

About the University of Arizona Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program

“There’s strong mentorship from faculty who actually seek you out. We also have opportunities to mentor residents. I was invited to teach the South Campus Family Medicine residents, presenting an AFib lecture. The more we study to teach, the more it cements our knowledge. There’s also a huge wellness focus here – healthy, happy fellows are productive fellows. The fellows here truly like each other. I’m interested in academic medicine and the number of women in leadership here is exceptional. I see that a career in academic medicine is achievable.”
