This three-day research and career development-oriented meeting will provide an opportunity for our Fellows to share their research findings with other young scientists at our Institute who may be unfamiliar with their work.

The goal is to promote cross-fertilization of ideas, develop new research collaborations, exchange technical knowledge, and foster a sense of community among the Fellows. All fellows will have the opportunity present their research projects and interests as an oral or poster presentation.

This year, the sessions at the retreat will focus upon career development. There will be a number of sessions concentrating upon the different aspects of developing a scientific career, both at and away from the bench. We will also hold a panel discussion featuring recent NIDDK Postdoctoral Alumni who will share their experiences about life in their new job settings.

Registration opens on November 16, 2009.
