ECM Mini-Symposium 2026

Join us for an afternoon of in-person networking, short presentations, and conversation with fellow extracellular matrix researchers at the University of Utah. Kendell Clement (Department of Biomedical Informatics) will lead an AI-assisted networking activity that analyzes participants' research interests and expertise to identify promising collaboration opportunities. Attendees will then have time to connect with suggested collaborators and explore new cross-disciplinary partnerships. Share Your Work! We welcome ECM-related research, broadly defined, spanning biology, medicine, engineering, biomaterials, bioinformatics, and computational approaches. All participants, especially students, are encouraged to share their research through either a 10–15-minute flash talk or a poster presentation. Student presentation awards will be selected by random drawing. Please indicate your presentation interest on the registration form. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
