We are pleased to announce the inauguration of The MIRM Wound Healing Research Conference on January 15, 2002. This conference will focus primarily on active research programs at the University of Pittsburgh and attendance is open to all interested individuals, including and especially postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. The meetings are scheduled for the first and third Tuesdays of each month in the 5th floor Conference Room of the Eye and Ear Institute.
The informal gathering will begin at 4pm with light refreshments and the formal speaker presentation will begin at 4:30pm. We encourage you to mark this time on your agenda and to use the informal time from 4:00 to 4:30pm as an opportunity to interact with colleagues sharing a research interest in wound healing and tissue repair.
NOTE: We will not meet on January 1, 2002 because of the New Year holiday. We will not meet on February 5, 2002 because many people will be attending the MIRM research retreat. Otherwise the twice/month schedule will stand.
