The International Chinese Musculoskeletal Research Conference (ICMRC) is a biennial international academic conference organized by the International Chinese Musculoskeletal Research Society (ICMRS). The ICMRC aims to promote basic and translational orthopedic research and to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and comprehensive prevention of major musculoskeletal diseases through academic dialogue, research collaboration among domestic and foreign colleagues, and ICMRS collaborative centers. Following the success of previous ICMRCs in Suzhou, Changsha, Shihezi, and Shenzheng, the 5 ICMRC (ICMRC-2024) will be held in Jinjiang, a historic yet vibrant city in southern China, from May 31 to June 3, 2024. ICMRS, the National Orthopaedic Research Centre at Shanghai Jiao Tong University Sixth People’s Hospital, Fujian Jinjiang People’s Hospital, and HEMIN Foundation, will jointly host this conference.d

The ICMRC-2024 will be chaired by ICMRS president Professor Guozhi Xiao and Professors Changqing Zhang, Jean Jiang, Changsheng Liu, Xing Ma, and Ming Chen. The theme of this meeting is “Embracing Cutting-edge Cell and Molecular Biotechnologies and Material Sciences to Advance Basic and Translational Orthopedic Research.” The conference will cover topics including musculoskeletal development and aging, joint biology and osteoarthritis, mechanobiology and biomechanics, bone metabolism and osteoporosis, nerve regulation of bone, joint disorders, and pain, bone tumor, intervertebral disc and spine degeneration, tendon and ligaments, muscle, biomaterials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, drug development and clinical applications. Abstract submission was open on January 1 and close on February 22, 2024, USA Eastern time. Leading scientists from the United States, Canada, Australia, European countries, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mainland China will be invited to share their exciting findings and insights. This conference will feature exciting programs, including presentations, symposia, and best abstract and young investigator awards, to facilitate the discussion of state-of-the-art musculoskeletal research and clinical applications.
