Each year, the University of Colorado Medical Scientist Training Program sponsors and coordinates this event. The conference provides an opportunity for M.D.\/Ph.D. students around the country to present their work and interact with other students and prominent scientific investigators. This meeting has taken place since 1986 and currently over 225 students, faculty, and alumni from over 60 academic institutions in the United States and Canada attends annually.<\/p>\n<p>Francis Collins, M.D.,Ph.D., director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), was one of the keynote speakers at this year\u2019s event, presenting a talk entitled: \u201cExceptional Opportunities in Biomedical Research.\u201d Shaun gave his presentation entitled \u201cNovel Aligned Electrospun Biphasic Scaffolds for Skeletal Muscle Regenerative Engineering,\u201d being one of three bioengineering presentations at this year\u2019s conference. It should be noted that Shaun\u2019s research work is remarkable and I am so proud to have Shaun as my student in the Institute for Regenerative Engineering. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for his cutting edge research.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_585\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-585\" style=\"width: 391px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-585 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/regenerative-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2015\/10\/photo_mclaughlin2.jpg\" alt=\"Shaun McLaughlin and Dr. Francis Collins\" width=\"391\" height=\"268\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shaun McLaughlin and Dr. Francis Collins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past weekend, Shaun McLaughlin, an M.D.\/Ph.D. student at the Institute for Regenerative Engineering working under my supervision attended the national M.D.\/Ph.D. student conference in Keystone, Colorado.
