# Gilbert S. Greenwald Symposium on Reproduction and Regenrative Medicine

> **NIH NIH R13** · UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MEDICAL CENTER · 2020 · $6,000

## Abstract

The Institute for Reproductive Health and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Kansas
Medical Center hosts the Annual Gilbert S. Greenwald Symposium on Reproduction and
Regenerative Medicine in honor of and as a memorial to the life and research career of Gilbert S.
Greenwald, Ph.D.; the 2016 Symposium will be the thirteenth. The objective of the annual
Symposium is to provide a forum for all attendees to strengthen and expand individual professional
networks, to build knowledge based both within an individuals research focus and in broader areas of
reproduction and regenerative medicine, to be exposed to new research techniques and approaches,
and to get feedback related to ongoing research projects. The Symposium provides an important
opportunity to strengthen existing and establish new research collaborations.
 Enhancing opportunities for trainees is a key aspect of the symposium. Trainees are provided
the opportunity to participate on the organizing committee, suggest, invite, host, and introduce guest
speakers, present their work through three-minute-thesis, poster, or oral presentation, meet with
guest speakers, meet regional researchers, and meet other Midwest regional trainees. Establishing
both communication skills and a networking infrastructure is key to a successful scientific career and
every opportunity, such as the Greenwald Symposium, serves to enhance the overall training
experience.
 The Symposium is held over one and a half days and features scientific talks by seven invited
external scientists and six regional trainees. The Greenwald symposium focuses in the reproductive
sciences and covers topics related to reproduction, development, regenerative medicine, genetics,
epigenetics, stem cell biology, pathologies of the reproductive system, and developmental origins of
disease. We encourage any investigator, faculty, trainee, and laboratory staff to participate in the
Symposium and have approximately 100 attendees each year primarily from Midwest regional
institutions in Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.
 A key goal of this application is to enhance support of trainees. This R13 program will provide
support of non-KU trainees for registration and travel costs associated with participation in the
Symposium. The active participation of trainees in scientific meetings is an integral component of the
educational process and we encourage all interested trainees to participate. Deferring costs
associated with attending this symposium will facilitate trainee participation and enhance progression
toward a successful career in research.
