Topic: Analytical tools for characterization of advanced glycation endproducts in bone
Organised by the ECTS E-learning action group
Chairs: Pr Dr Petar Milovanovic, Center of Bone Biology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia
Speaker: Ass Pr Eve Donnelly, Materials Science, Cornell University, New York, USA
Date & Time: Thursday, 24 July 2025 from 16.00-17.00hrs CET
Format: Live Interactive Webinar. On-demand recording to be available for ECTS full members tier after the event

Registration

The live webinar is free and open to everyone with an interest in the field.

Learning objectives:

1. Describe advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and the mechanisms by which they form in connective tissues.
2. Identify the techniques currently available for assessment of AGEs in bone and the main outcomes of each method.
3. Discuss the relative strengths and limitations of these methods.
4. Identify knowledge gaps that would inform clinical utilization and improve patient care.

Agenda:

• Introduction by Pr Dr Milovanovic (3 min)
• Presentation on “Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) induce bone fragility” by Ass Pr Donnelly (30 min)
• Live Q&A from the audience, moderated by Pr Dr Milovanovic (25 min)
• Conclusion and key messages by Pr Dr Milovanvic (2 min)
