Description
Summary:Realizing the vision of the International Bone Marrow Adiposity Society The International Bone Marrow Adiposity Society (BMAS) has held 7 annual meetings since 2015, with the sixth meeting held virtually in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic (Scheller et al.). The meeting was attended by nearly 200 people from 18 countries and featured presentations, networking opportunities and career development. The BMAS also held its inaugural Summer School in 2021, which was aimed at early-career researchers and featured lectures, workshops and career development sessions (Labella et al.). The Biobanking Working Group of the BMAS has developed best practices for preparing, preserving and distributing biomaterials and related cells and tissues as biospecimens for research, including protocols and guidelines for ethical, legal and social issues (Lucas et al.). These best practices aim to ensure the rigor and collaborations in the field of BMAT research.
