The 2007 ACR/ARHP Scientific Meeting will offer pioneering research, outstanding clinical sessions, innovative special-interest forums, and increased opportunities for interaction. The 2007 program includes greater variety and more concurrent sessions than ever before and remains the most comprehensive and diverse international gathering of physicians, scientists, and healthcare professionals devoted to rheumatology.

Basic Science Goes To Boston

The ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting Planning Committee (AMPC) is providing a broad selection of basic science for the 2007 Annual Scientific Meeting in Boston this November. The AMPC remains focused on keeping basic researchers ahead of the curve and expects this year’s meeting to bring more translational components to both clinical and basic science symposia.

“There is a mixture of hot and emerging topics, such as ion channels and bioimaging,” explains Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD, chair of the AMPC, “as well as up-to-date reviews of topics that are of increasingly broad interest.”

The AMPC is using more translational components as a way of increasing the basic scientist’s interaction with clinicians, he explains. In keeping with this, the meeting will offer sessions on osteoclasts, implications for the development and treatment of osteoarthritis, T-cell subsets, and a year in review – all of which will be of interest to both the clinician and the basic researcher.

Dr. Mandell is particularly excited about the speakers in this year’s program. “We have several truly high-visibility speakers, and we have expanded the venue for several of our rheumatology research award winners,” he says. “We are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Philip Sharp, a Nobel Laureate, delivering a talk on microRNAs, and Dr. Judah Folkman, a legendary researcher in angiogenesis, presenting an introductory talk at our abstract mini-symposium on angiogenesis, cell to cell adhesion, migration, and vascular biology in arthritis and inflammation.”

Additionally, the recipient of the Arthritis Foundation’s Lee C. Howley, Sr. Prize for Arthritis Research, Gary Firestein, MD, will introduce a mini-symposium, “RA Pathogenesis: Molecular Mechanisms” with a lecture on new therapeutic targets in RA.

The AMPC has also invited the ACR Research and Education Foundation (REF) lecture recipients, Judith James, MD; Regis O’Keefe, MD, PhD; Steven L. Teitelbaum, MD; and Paul H. Plotz, MD, in the areas of lupus, orthopedics, bone research, and research contributions to rheumatology, respectively, to present lectures within sessions of related areas.Enhanced Opportunities at the 2007 Meeting
