International Conference on
Children’s Bone Health (ICCBH)

The International Conference on Children’s Bone Health (ICCBH) was started in 1999 by an international group of independent clinicians and researchers interested in bone metabolism and bone mass in children, adolescents, and young adults. Five conferences were organised successfully by members of the Organising Committee, the last being in Cambridge, UK, in 2009. In 2011 it was decided to approach an international association for administrative support and between 2013 and 2022 the European Calcified Tissue Society managed the ICCBH conferences on the Organising Committee’s behalf.

At BridgeBio, our mission is to turn beautiful science into meaningful medicines for the people who need it most. BridgeBio exists to develop transformative medicines for genetic conditions. Millions of people worldwide living with genetic conditions lack treatment options, often because drug development for small patient populations can be commercially challenging. We aim to bridge the gap between advancements in genetic science and meaningful medicines for underserved patient populations.

BioMarin is a world leader in developing and commercializing innovative therapies for rare diseases driven by genetic causes. With a 20-year history, BioMarin remains steadfast to its original mission—to bring new treatments to market that will make a big impact on small patient populations. These conditions are often inherited, difficult to diagnose, progressively debilitating, have few, if any, treatment options, and are usually ignored. Visit www.biomarin.com to learn more.
