After several years of planning, the first annual MPS World Summit begins on May 31, 2022, and Obatala's Staff will be deeply involved in the conference:
- Dr. Trivia Frazier will participate in Session 15: Disease Modeling, with a talk entitled "Embracing Diversity in a Microphysiological World". She will join several other panelists to discuss how MPS can be used to better model human disease.
- Dr. Cecilia Sanchez will present Poster on Abstract #133, "White and beige/brown human adipose tissue-on-chips as a platform for disease modeling and drug discovery".
- David Bode served on the Executive, Steering, Local Organizing, and Society Committees, and will be involved in launching the International MPS Society coming out of the convention. The Society will take over planning for future conferences and build a community of researchers in the field.
- Several team members will attend the conference and will be available to speak at Booth #105 during exhibit hours.
