It is with great pleasure that the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Colorado Denver invites you to The National MD/PhD Conference, which will be held at the Keystone Conference Center in Keystone, Colorado. This annual meeting brings together bright young MD/PhD students and outstanding senior researchers to share ideas and to consider the evolving role of the physician-scientist.
As in the past, we have invited a group of distinguished speakers from a variety of disciplines. These featured lectures will address topics in both basic science and translational research. In addition, the student oral presentations and student poster sessions will ensure that a wide spectrum of topics are discussed including, but not limited to, immunology, tumor biology, biochemistry, microbiology, neuroscience, and developmental biology. Finally, a career panel session will be held where MD/PhDs at various stages of their careers will be available to discuss their experiences.
As always, the Conference provides free time to enjoy the awesome surroundings. Keystone is in the heart of Summit County, Colorado. The nearby towns of Dillon, Silverthorne, and Breckenridge allow for shopping, exploration and social gatherings after hours. Hiking, mountain biking, rafting and other outdoor activities are also conveniently close. Our hosts at Keystone Resorts will provide organized opportunities and a number of informal trips will be lead by our students.
It is our hope that you will accept our invitation and join us July 29-31, 2005 for The 20th Annual National M.D./Ph.D. Student Conference at Keystone, Colorado.
Sincerely,
The 2005 Organizing Committee
