David W. Smith Workshop on Malformations and Morphogenesis
NICHD - Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
About This Grant
Project Summary/Abstract: For over 45 years, the David W. Smith Workshop on Malformations and Morphogenesis has brought together dysmorphologists, developmental biologists, embryologists, anatomists, geneticists and others who work on developing a better understanding of how human malformations occur and their underlying mechanisms of morphogenesis. The workshops are held annually in celebration of the career of David W. Smith who was the father of human clinical dysmorphology and first to initiate these meetings. Meetings are held over 4-5 days in the summer and have an attendance of 130-150 individuals who are selected following submission of abstracts reviewed by the scientific program committee. Attendance is predicated on having an abstract accepted for presentation. The workshop is intended to be an interactive exchange and thus is limited only to those presenting that year. Each year three to five central topics are selected by the organizers. The selection of topics takes into account when the topic had last been a focus, and the timeliness of the topic based on new scientific developments and emerging fields. The meetings consist of a workshop format in which short presentations of hypothesis-driven findings are then followed by an intense discussion period. There are also typically 3-4 plenary sessions presented by internationally recognized experts in the fields relevant to the central focus topic of that given workshop. The meetings have a long history of wide-ranging and stimulating discussion and catalyzing collaborations as well as providing an especially important focus for the development and recruitment of residents, fellows and junior faculty into the field of morphogenesis, malformation and birth defects research.
