Webinars
Webinars are hosted by the ISBM Early Career Investigator Committee and are open to members and non-members of ISBM at all career stages. Priority is given to Early Career Investigators to introduce themselves and meet the speaker at the end of the webinar. Our goal is to support students and fellows that are interested in joining an active community of researchers focused on the quantitative imaging and analysis of skeletal tissues (histomorphometry, immunostaining, lineage tracing, live imaging, CT, tissue clearing, morphometrics, spatial transcriptomics, etc).

March 2024 Webinar – “Targeting tissue quality to improve fracture resistance”
Dr. Joseph Wallace and this Bone Biology and Mechanics Laboratory (BBML) at IUPUI are committed to improving our understanding of how the body works through innovative preclinical and clinical research. The lab focuses on bone mechanics (ability to effectively bear loads) and mechanobiology (how cells respond to mechanical stimuli to maintain and/or increase bone mass) […]
March 2024 Webinar – “Career development strategies (so you don’t burn out)”
Careers take many twists and turns, but one thing remains consistent: a large part of your day is spent at work, so you’d better make it something you enjoy! During this webinar Dr. Lara Silverman will discuss some tips to sniff out a potential new employer, ways to reassess and remain impartial while you’re at […]
Feb 2024 Webinar – “Cutting-edge imaging of Bone”
During this webinar Dr. Anjali Kusumbe will present a new and efficient pipeline for clearing and immunolabeling intact calcified tissues, allowing for superfast, single-cell resolution, and quantitative 3D imaging of skeletal elements and discovery of lymphatic vessels in bones. The application of this rapid imaging technique revealed unexpected lymphatic vascular networks in bones, challenging the […]
Jan 2024 Webinar – “Bone and emerging incretin-based treatments of T2D and obesity”
During this webinar Dr. Morten Frost will discuss incretin hormone-based therapies of common conditions including type 2 diabetes and obesity are rapidly emerging. While preclinical studies indicate that GLP-1 advances bone formation and GIP decreases bone resorption, clinical studies based on early GLP-1 receptor agonists show neutral effects on bone. However, more recent GLP-1 and […]
Dec 2023 Webinar – “Cellular organization of bone remodeling units”
During this webinar Dr. Thomas Andersen will discuss how thousands of bone remodeling units (BRUs) constantly renew our bones throughout our lives. These units are also known as basic multicellular units (BMUs) and involves a highly coordinated bone resorption and formation. This webinar will cover the recently revised phases of the BMUs and the key […]
Nov 2023 Webinar – “Advances in Spectral Computed Tomography for MSK Imaging”
During this webinar Dr. Graeme Campbell will discuss how computed tomography (CT) is considered the “workhorse” of diagnostic imaging in almost all clinical subdisciplines. It is indispensable in terms of its availability, standardization, examination speed and options for integration into complex clinical workflows. In the musculoskeletal (MSK) domain, CT provides high-resolution images of bony structures, […]
Nov 2023 Webinar – “Interrogating Bone Using Live Cell Imaging”
During this webinar Dr. Sarah Dallas will discuss using live cell imaging in combination with transgenic mice expressing GFP-tagged collagen and fluorescent reporters to visualize bone cell lineages, our work has advanced fundamental understanding of bone extracellular matrix assembly and resorption dynamics. Live cell imaging has revealed the dynamic mechanisms of osteocyte embedding in collagen […]
Sept 2023 Webinar – “Intravital imaging of osteoclasts”
During this webinar Dr. Michelle McDonald will discuss using a novel intravital imaging technique to visualise tumour cell fate, bone cell dynamics and tumour-bone cell interactions we have advanced our fundamental understanding of tumour cell dormancy and osteoclast biology, and uncovered mechanisms behind clinical responses to anti-resorptive therapies. Through targeting this novel cell biology, we […]
June 2023 Webinar – “Multiscale Bone Biomechanics and Imaging”
During this webinar, Dr. Ralph Müller will delve into the intricate field of multiscale bone biomechanics and imaging. From milliseconds to years and nanometers to centimeters, bone biomechanics require integrating information across various scales. Explore Dr. Müller’s research, which combines mechanics and microstructural imaging, employing computer simulations and experimental validation. Discover image-guided techniques that provide […]
May 2023 Webinar – “Bone and exercise: From Childhood to Outer Space”
During this webinar, Dr. Leigh Gabel will discuss the importance of movement (physical activity and exercise) during childhood and adolescence for developing a healthy skeleton and how different imaging modalities (e.g., DXA, pQCT, HR-pQCT) help us understand the intricacies of bone accrual. Dr. Gabel will also discuss how prolonged unloading (i.e., long-duration spaceflight) impacts bone […]
