For the benefit of Endometriosis Foundation of America (EndoFound)
Add event to calendar
With great excitement, we invite you to EndoFound’s 14th Annual Scientific Conference – Endometriosis 2023: From Molecular Fingerprints to Multiorgan Complex Surgery
While significant discoveries are being made in endometriosis at the molecular level, they have yet to be translated into tests and therapeutics that can improve the standard of care. Therefore, this conference will target this important topic.
The two-day conference is on April 1-2, 2023 at Einhorn Auditorium, Lenox Hill Hospital, NYC.
We have longed to have an in-person meeting where faculty and participants can talk, laugh, and brainstorm face-to-face. While COVID-19 is still among us, we are hopeful we will have a safe and productive meeting with the appropriate precautions. We hope that you can join us.
