The Organizing Committee at the University of Kansas Medical Center invites you to join us for the 5th Annual Gilbert S. Greenwald Symposium on Reproduction at the Kauffman Foundation Conference Center in Kansas City, Missouri scheduled for October 9th, 10th and 11th, 2008.
The annual symposium is held in memory of Dr. Gilbert S. Greenwald, a pioneer in reproductive biology research and founder of the reproductive biology research program at the University of Kansas Medical Center. The annual meeting is organized by faculty and trainees at the University of Kansas Medical Center and brings together graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, clinical and basic science faculty, staff and other interested participants with recognized leaders of the reproductive sciences research community. The format includes plenary lectures, short talks, and posters by participants. It is especially welcoming to individuals early in their reproductive biology research careers, providing them an opportunity to meet and interact with well-established scientists. The first three symposia were very successful and were attended by over 100 participants from throughout the Midwest.
