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 was 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 included student presentations (both podium and poster), a keynote address titled "Digital Humans: From Biomechanical Models to Simulated Surgery" ( http://coen.boisestate.edu/NBSymposium/program.asp#Keynote ) by Dr. Scott Delp of Stanford University, a student/faculty dinner banquet, and round table discussions on current biomechanics research. These activities provided an atmosphere rich in student and faculty networking for both career and research advancement.

Please join us for the 5th Annual Northwest Biomechanics Symposium in May, 2009 at Washington State University.

Thank you to ASB and our other sponsors for making this event possible.
