18th Northwest Reproductive Sciences Symposium (NWRSS)

项目摘要 2022年5月，第18届西北生殖科学研讨会（NWRSS）会议将由 位于华盛顿州克莱埃卢姆的生殖生物学中心（CRB）。会议将回到森卡迪亚旅馆， 成功举办2014年NWRSS会议的地点。这个长期存在的系列始于1989年， 华盛顿州立大学（WSU）和爱达荷州（UI）大学每年联合举办小型对称活动，但现在 每两年在WSU/UI、俄勒冈州州立大学（OSU）和俄勒冈州健康科学之间轮换 大学（OHSU）。该科学计划旨在展示区域研究的高质量， 生殖科学、生育和避孕、发育生物学以及动物和人类健康。的 NWRSS会议的目标是促进信息交流，以推动我们的集体 了解哺乳动物生殖道的正常功能和疾病状态。因为 大多数与会者都集中在太平洋西北部，许多持久的合作都来自这些地区 事实证明，这些聚会既富有成效，又易于维护。NWRSS会议旨在支持 生殖生物学各个方面的职业发展，使学员之间的互动，新的 调查员和已成立的主要调查员。西北南苏丹的培训方面延伸到 会议的组织，以及作为培训生计划委员会是唯一负责组织会议， 科学会议分为专题小组，挑选受训的平台发言人，并担任会议主席。 大部分的NWRSS讲座是由博士后研究员和学生提供。今年除了 生殖生物学领域一位杰出领导人的主旨发言， 在STEM领域的生殖和多样性的差异将在该计划的特点。组织者和 西北地区安全体系的参与者致力于提供一个安全和包容的环境，以促进共享 发展生物学家，分子生物学家，系统生物学家，人口健康生物学家， 和生殖生物学领域的临床医生。

PROJECT SUMMARY In May 2022, the 18th Northwest Reproductive Science Symposium (NWRSS) meeting will be hosted by the Center for Reproductive Biology (CRB) in Cle Elum, WA. The meeting will return to the Suncadia Lodge, the venue for the successful 2014 NWRSS meeting. This long-standing series began in 1989 as the Washington State University (WSU) and the University of Idaho (UI) annual joint minisymposium, but now rotates biennially between WSU/UI, Oregon State University (OSU), and the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU). The scientific program serves to showcase the high quality of regional research in reproductive sciences, fertility and contraception, developmental biology, and animal and human health. The objective of the NWRSS meeting is to promote the exchange of information to advance our collective understanding of the mammalian reproductive tract both in normal function and in diseased states. Because most of the attendees are concentrated in the Pacific Northwest, many lasting collaborations arise from these gatherings that have proven both productive and easy to maintain. The NWRSS meeting seeks to support career development within all aspects of reproductive biology, enabling interaction between trainees, new investigators, and established principal investigators. The training aspect of the NWRSS extends to the organization of the meeting as well, as the trainee program committee is solely responsible for organizing the scientific sessions into thematic groups, selection of trainee platform speakers, and service as session chairs. The majority of the NWRSS talks are delivered by post-doctoral fellows and students. This year, in addition to Keynote address from a preeminent leader in the field of reproductive biology, speakers addressing health disparities in reproduction and diversity in STEM fields will be featured in the program. The organizers and participants of the NWRSS are committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment to foster the sharing of ideas between developmental biologists, molecular biologists, systems biologists, population health biologists, and clinicians working in the field of reproductive biology.
