Research Strategy Groups

What is a Research Strategy Group Meeting?

The SET Center organizes these meetings to bring like-minded researchers together to strengthen developmental science projects at the University through peer review and fostering collaboration. After brief introductions from the meeting attendees, a PI will begin with a short presentation (15 minutes) about a project that aligns with the Center’s mission. We will then have a discussion period to address any of the presenting PI’s questions for the group, as well as feedback or thoughts on the project from the meeting attendees.

Who can attend?

All UChicago scientists with a new or existing interest in early life or biologic development are invited to attend the Strategy Group Meetings. Our goal is to support research into human developmental and engage with each researcher that would like to apply their science to the many questions we have about the early life period.

The meetings take place the second Tuesday of the month (with the exception of the first meeting) at 2:00pm in KCBD 9100.
