How to Join: This event is free and open to the public; no registration is required. You may attend in person or join via videocast.
Join us for a symposium to celebrate NIDCR’s 25-year legacy of research to understand and treat fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS).
The event will feature Nobel Laureate Brian Kobilka, M.D., who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on G-protein-coupled receptors.
Following the symposium, a historical poster session and reception will be held on the FAES Terrace, Building 10.
