Welcome to the official site for the 2008 North American Congress on Biomechanics (NACOB).
NACOB 2008 will be held from Tuesday, August 5 to Saturday, August 9, 2008 on the Central Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S.A.
NACOB 2008 is the combined Annual Meetings of the American Society of Biomechanics and the Canadian Society for Biomechanics. This combined meeting is held once every six years to promote scientific exchange and to foster collaboration among those interested in all aspects of biomechanics.
Papers include experimental and theoretical issues from molecular level, through the cellular and organ levels, to the whole-body level in any species.
We look forward to welcoming you and about 750 other registrants from all over the world to an exciting scientific meeting in Ann Arbor in August!
