The Huck Center for Reproductive Biology and Health and the Department of Ob/Gyn, Division of Endocrinology and Infertility are offering a joint symposium focused on Reproductive Health and Aging. This symposium explores how reproductive processes and aging shape one another from early gametogenesis to puberty and fertility changes during pregnancy and beyond.
Through interdisciplinary talks and poster presentations, experts will examine the roles of hormones, gonadal function, and other diseases in shaping reproductive trajectories and healthy aging. Sessions will translate emerging research humans and animal models into practical strategies for clinical care, public health, and patient education. Attendees will leave with a clearer framework for anticipating age-related reproductive transitions and improving reproductive health.
David Keefe: The ART of aging gracefully- innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of oocyte infertility
