Frontiers in Reproduction (FIR) is a 6-week-long laboratory and lecture course designed for scientists-in-training (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, as well as clinical fellows) who are interested in improving basic conceptual knowledge and methodological skills to pursue a research career in the reproductive sciences. Entering our thirteenth year of operation, we now have more than 200 alumni worldwide.
FIR is limited to 20 participants per year and is held at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, a site rich in the tradition of biological inquiry. The course is organized into three sections consisting of lectures from resident faculty and invited speakers, discussions, and informal seminars, as well as hands-on laboratory exercises. Dr. Mario Ascoli (University of Iowa) is FIR’s lead course director. The first section is directed by Dr. Leslie Heckert (University of Kansas Medical Center), and covers signal transduction, gene expression, and bioinformatics, as they apply to reproductive endocrinology. Section 2 is directed by Dr. Ann Sutherland (University of Virginia), and covers transgenic technology, cell-cell interactions in reproductive tissues during development, as well as embryology and implantation biology. Section 3, directed by Dr. Harvey Florman (University of Massachusetts Medical School), focuses on gametogenesis, fertilization, cloning, and stem cells.
FIR is supported by major grants from the NICHD and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.
