Current topics in perinatal biology
This weekly Friday afternoon seminar series draws on the national recognition and expertise of the Center faculty and sponsors world class scientists from all over the country to give state-of-the-art presentations on subjects related to current research within the Center. Recent presentations have focused on such diverse topics as signal transduction mechanisms in smooth muscle, high-altitude physiology, signal transduction, mechanisms of parturition, gene targeting and gene therapy, and the immune system. This seminar series is offered as a formal course for graduate students and is well attended by students and faculty throughout the University.

Perinatal biology research discussions
To facilitate interaction and communication, the Center sponsors regular opportunities for the faculty, fellows, and students of the Center to meet and informally discuss recent research findings. These meetings provide a chance for Center staff to gather ideas for solving research problems and strengthen various experimental approaches. These meetings also often help Center staff get feedback on presentations to be delivered at national/international meetings. At times, these discussions also focus on recent developments in the relevant research literature.
