This annual event offers a chance for Pediatric faculty, fellows, postdocs and students to engage in discussions of each other’s work, as well as showcasing the scholarship of fellows, junior faculty, and senior investigators. The keynote address was given by Se-Jin Lee, Ph.D., Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Lee’s account of his work with myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle mass, was stimulating, rigorous, and entertaining. “This year’s retreat was an unqualified success on so many fronts,” said Alan L. Schwartz, Ph.D., M.D., Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics. “The presentations were high-quality and high-impact, the areas of inquiry were broad and deep, and the audience was clearly engaged. The keynote presentation by Professor Lee was masterful.” The full story can be found on the Pediatric news page. More pictures of the event can be found here.
