This seminar/reading and conference course is an interactive course designed to provide graduate students a basic understanding of tissue injury, repair and regeneration processes in major body tissues. Each week, we will invite a leading guest speaker to present a seminar on their respective field of research related to tissue injury, repair and regeneration. The guest speaker will present a seminar on his/her research for 45 minutes, followed by an in-depth discussion on two papers assigned by the speaker. In addition to discussing the papers, the speaker and students will discuss the two written questions that each student submitted prior to lecture time.
