Annual Symposium


Every spring semester the MSTP sponsors a symposium featuring an external keynote speaker, oral presentations of student research, student poster presentations, and a student-faculty roundtable. The symposium is organized by the student seminars committee. The keynote speaker is an MD/PhD physician-scientist with an active research program. The speaker is selected by MSTP students with input from the Honors Lecture Committee of the Medical School. This lecture is in honor of Karl Beyer, MD/PhD, an early dual-degree graduate of UW-Madison and pioneer in the development of agents to treat hypertension and edema. Recent speakers have included Michael Hayden, MD/PhD, Department of Medical Genetics, University of British Columbia (2000); Shawn Coughlin MD/PhD, Cardiovascular Research Institute, UCSF (2001); Kit Lam, MD/PhD, Cancer Center and Department of Medicine, UC-Davis (2002); Christopher Walsh, MD/PhD, Harvard Medical School (2003); Evan Sadler, MD/PhD, Washington University (2004); Vanessa Gamble, MD/PhD, Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics (2005); and Martin Yarmush, MD/PhD, Harvard Medical School (2006).

This special symposium will take place on 5/20/08. The keynote address will be given by Dr. Johan Stenflo, M.D., Ph.D. from the University of Lund, Sweden. Dr. Stenflo's talk will focus on "Mechanisms and Functions of Vitamin K-Dependent Gamma Carboxylation." We hope to entice as many alumni as possible to participate in this event!
