In the words of our Conference Chair:
“OIFE’s next topical meeting is about how living with pain can affect all parts of life. And equally important – how do different aspects of life lead to pain? To find the right balance and the right solutions, we must work together and share our knowledge and experiences – professionals, researchers, industry, and everyone who has, or lives with someone who has, osteogenesis imperfecta and/or other rare bone diseases.”
