The Dynamic of Students and Research Preceptors – Osteochondral Regeneration & Cartilage Repair Approaches Webinar

Osteochondral Regeneration & Cartilage Repair Approaches

The Cato T. Laurencin Institute for Regenerative Engineering at the University of Connecticut, in partnership with ARMI | BioFabUSA, presents a webinar series exploring both groundbreaking research and the relationship between trainees and their research preceptors.

Each session highlights emerging work in regenerative engineering while also addressing the human side of scientific training — including mentorship, collaboration, and the development of future leaders in the field.

Participants will gain insight into:

• Advances in regenerative engineering and biomaterials
• The role of mentorship in scientific discovery
• How emerging researchers integrate into research environments
• Perspectives from trainees in leading doctoral and investigator programs

This series features participants from the Institute’s T32 Doctoral and Young Innovative Investigator Programs, as well as UConn graduate training programs. Learn More
