Inaugural “Hot Topics” in Women’s Health Research Seminar Series

We are thrilled to announce official launch of the WHMC “Hot Topic” Seminar Series, a monthly event curated by the WHMC Planning Commitee and supported by the Center for Women’s Health Research and the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. These seminars are designed to bring together clinical and basic science faculty, fellows, residents, postdocs, staff, graduate and medical students, and undergraduates from across UNC, with the intention of building awareness of the broad array of research in the UNC community that intersects with improving women’s health and providing an environment for forming new collaborations and training opportunities for trainees.

Our first seminar will be a joint keynote address by Dr. Wendy Brewster (Director of the Center for Women’s Health Research) and Dr. Russell Broaddus (Chair of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine) on October 11th, 2021 from 12-1pm. This keynote seminar will mark the official start of the WHMC with a focus on the current state of women’s health research and the importance of inter- and multi-disciplinary collaborations in advancing research efforts in women’s health. The seminar will include a panel discussion with the speakers to encourage robust discussion with the audience.

This will be a hybrid seminar, with the opportunity to attend either in-person with limited capacity and spaced-out seating in Bondurant G100, or virtually by Zoom (Zoom link here). For those interested in attending in-person, please fill out this Google Form to secure your in-person spot. These seminars are open to everyone, please feel free to share with others that may be interested.

We have also launched our official webpage, where you can find updates and more information about our mission, planning committee, and advisory committee: https://www.med.unc.edu/pathology/mcp/pbts/womens-health-multidisciplinary-consortium/

We are looking forward to your participation in our inaugural seminar series and beyond.
