Clinical and Basic Science Data Blitz

The Clinical and Basic Science Data Blitz will be held Wednesday, May 17, 6–8 pm, in Pittsburgh, PA, as part of the 36th Annual Scientific Meeting.

This year’s Data Blitz will include selected presentations of new research in a rapid format, with presenters having 5 minutes to present data and 5 additional minutes for questions from the audience. The blitz will be moderated by Steve Davidson, PhD, Jennifer DeBerry, PhD, Marie Hoeger Bement, PhD PT, and Mark Bicket, MD.

Congratulations to the accepted abstract authors for the 2017 Data Blitz!
