On March 13th, the LA CaTS Professional Development Core hosted their Annual Retreat for Roadmap
Scholars and Plenary Talk for the research community. This year’s presenter was Dr.
Clifford Rosen (MaineHealth Institute for Research). Dr. Rosen presented an important
and engaging talk on “The Evolution of Parathyroid Hormone: Beyond Bone!”. The talk was attended by over 160 attendees total, either in-person at University
Medical Center or virtually.
We would like to acknowledge the Professional Development Core for the success of their annual retreat and thank Dr. Rosen for selecting a relevant topic to present to the research community across the state and other partners.
