Welcome to the Danish Society for Matrix Biology!

The Danish Society for Matrix Biology (DSMB) is a network for advancing the science of connective tissue, extracellular matrix biology and related subjects. The DSMB arranges seminars, lectures, discussion groups, conferences, symposia, and related networking events for scientists in the field. The DSMB is affiliated with the umbrella society for Danish life science societies, the Danish Biochemical Society. 

At our AGM in October 2023, members of the DSMB unanimously voted to join the Danish Biochemical Society (Dansk Biokemisk Forening). The Danish Biochemical Society is an umbrella society for Danish life science societies. Read more and join us!

    The Danish Society for Matrix Biology Annual Meeting 2025 and Heparan Sulfate Workshop

    September 8-9, 2025

    Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen at the top floor of the Mærsk Tower


    We invite all our members and other interested parties to join us for two days full of exciting matrix talks and networking. This year, we're especially excited to host a focused workshop on heparan sulfate, which will be featured in three of our five sessions. At the same time, we’ve ensured space for broader matrix science to shine. The remaining sessions will highlight key developments across the field, reflecting the diversity and innovation that makes this research community so dynamic.

    The DSMB annual meeting is free for all members of the Danish Society for Matrix Biology and the Danish Biochemical Society.  To register, please first sign up as a member. Remember to indicate that you wish to be affiliated with 'Danish Society for Matrix Biology' during the sign up process.
