VENUE: Engineering Complex

ASB Keynote Address by Scott Delp, Ph.D.
Stanford University

Following successful meetings in Seattle (2005), Vancouver (2006), and Eugene (2007), we are pleased to announce the 4th Annual Northwest Biomechanics Symposium to be held May 9-10, 2008 at Boise State University in Boise, ID. This symposium, in the spirit of ASB meetings, will encourage students in biomechanics, assist regional collaborations between research institutions, and advance the state-of-the-art in biomechanics research and education.

The program will include student presentations (both podium and poster), a keynote address titled "Digital Humans: From Biomechanical Models to Simulated Surgery" by
Dr. Scott Delp of Stanford University, a student/faculty dinner banquet, and round table discussions on current biomechanics research. These activities are expected to provide an atmosphere rich in student and faculty networking for both career and research advancement.

Boise is convenient to outdoor recreation including world-class whitewater rivers, skiing, mountain biking, fishing, and camping, so plan to stay in the area and enjoy the recreational opportunities after the meeting.

Abstracts from all areas of biomechanics will be considered.
