2024: 7th CSF Hydrodynamics Symposium - Sponsored by The Monkton Institute

Hosted by Macquarie University - Sydney, AU

The seventh CSF Hydrodynamics Symposium took place on May 12-14, 2024 at the Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. This biennial conference brings together scientists, engineers, clinicians and mathematicians from around the world to discuss the underlying mechanisms that cause disorders of CSF flow, such as syringomyelia and Chiari malformation.

Participants discuss their own research and bounce ideas off one another to better comprehend these poorly understood pathophysiology of CSF disorders. Thanks to Dr. Lynne Bilstron, Dr. Marcus Stoodley, and Macquarie University for graciously hosting this year’s symposium.

Bobby Jones CSF is proud to once again support this incredible meeting of the minds. This support is made possible by a generous grant from the Monkton Institute, Inc.
