The Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center Fall conference includes a keynote speaker, blitz talks, and a poster competition. The specific focus changes each year and is selected by the SCRMC Research Training Award winners who organize this event. The Research Training Award was 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. This program provides unique, interdisciplinary training for future leaders in stem cell and regenerative medicine research, which includes the opportunity to plan this conference.
