The symposium that took place at 果冻影院 Engineering Building was hosted by Dr Mehran Moazen - a Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering at 果冻影院 Mechanical Engineering.

Craniosynostosis affects 1 in 2,000 new-borns. It is a聽medical condition caused by early fusion of cranial joints (sutures) in children where their premature fusion聽by turning into bone (ossification)聽changes the聽growth pattern of the skull.

The well attended event looked at the basic science to the clinical practice of craniosynostosis and featured speakers from around the world, including, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Paris and Rotterdam.聽

Presentations ranged from looking at clinical, developmental, biomechanical and genetic perspectives to looking at new therapies that could potentially prevent such causes and/or improve surgical outcomes.

Dr Moazen said 鈥淭he symposium was interesting and informative bringing a truly multi-disciplinary team of active researchers in the field together in a very focused meeting on craniosynostosis. The team are now thinking to turn this to a bi-annual conference/meeting.鈥�
