Welcome Message:

The Australian and New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society invites you to attend the inaugural Asia-Pacific Bone and Mineral Research Meeting to be held in conjunction with the 22nd ANZBMS Annual Scientific Meeting at the Pan Pacific Hotel, Perth, Australia between September 2–5, 2012. The 2012 scientific program will host a wealth of local and internationally acclaimed experts in the field of bone and mineral research with a central theme of evidence-based translational skeletal medicine. The key objectives of the meeting are to:

  1. Better align with the National Health Form Agenda and translation into clinics as best practise for clinics and to provide clinicians with an update on metabolic bone diseases;
  2. Foster research collaboration and cultural awareness in bone and mineral research across the Asia-Pacific region;
  3. Elevate the international profiles and facilitate networking of Early Career Researchers.

Professor Hiroshi Takayanagi

Professor Hiroshi Takayanagi

Professor of Tokyo Medical and Dental University and a leading scientist in the field of molecular understanding of bone and immune systems. In 2000, he published a seminal paper in Nature on T-cell-mediated regulation of osteoclastogenesis, which opened a new field called osteoimmunology. Since then, he has focused on the mechanism of bone destruction in autoimmune arthritis and intracellular signalling of bone cells. In particular, he tremendously contributed to studies on the mechanism of osteoclast differentiation by discovering the master transcription factor NFATc1 and ITAM-associated costimulatory receptors. With more than 15 publications in Nature Medicine, he has established the field of osteoimmunology and provided new insight into the future therapeutic strategies against various bone and immune diseases.
