CME credit available: Taubman Emerging Scholars Symposium
The Taubman Institute is pleased to showcase the work of four outstanding clinician-scientists at its 2018 Emerging Scholars Symposium on April 13.
The newest Taubman Scholar, Donna Martin, M.D., Ph.D., will present the keynote talk entitled, “Novel Insights into CHD7 Function and CHARGE Syndrome.”
Martin, the Donita B. Sullivan Research Professor in Pediatrics, is a professor of pediatrics and of human genetics. Her research focuses on the genetic basis of neural development and disorders of human development.
Following her talk, attendees will hear from three Taubman Emerging Scholars — early-career physician-researchers who have been selected to receive grants aimed at accelerating their medical discovery. They include:
- Michelle Kahlenberg, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of internal medicine
- Karen McLean, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology
- Rajesh Rao, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of ophthalmology, visual sciences and pathology
The symposium is free and open to all Michigan Medicine employees and the general public.
Coffee and networking will begin at 8 a.m., with talks commencing at 8:30 a.m. A Q&A session and brief break will follow each presentation.
