The School of Pharmacy (SOP) and the division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) at the University of Washington are pleased to launch a quarterly seminar series titled “Maternal-fetal pharmacology and medicine“. This seminar series will provide a forum for sharing research and fostering discussions in the field of pregnancy,  placental biology, maternal-fetal pharmacology, and maternal-fetal medicine. The overall goal is to promote interdisciplinary exchange, encourage new collaborations, and support development of future research and grant applications. Each 1.5 h seminar will consist of two 30 min speaker talks, followed by 30 min of scientific discussion.

Please mark your calendars for the first seminar (see attached flyer), which will be held on Friday, April 3 from 9:00 to 10:30 AM in T531 and via Zoom. Feel free to share this announcement with other faculty, staff, and students who may be interested.
