SCRMC Fall Conference

OVERVIEW: This Conference is organized by the trainees of the SCRMC . The SCRMC Research Training Awards were established in 2008 to recognize and provide support for promising graduate students and postdoctoral fellows conducting stem cell and regenerative medicine research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The SCRMC Research Training Awards Program provides unique, interdisciplinary training for future leaders in stem cell and regenerative medicine research. Starting in 2011, the SCRMC asked the recipients of this award to organize this meeting aimed at postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, primarily.
