into birth defects, development
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – William J. Scott, professor of pediatrics at the Children's Hospital Research Foundation in Cincinnati, Ohio, will be on the Purdue University campus Sept. 14 to present new medical insights into birth defects.
The talk, which is free and open to the public, will be held at 4:30 p.m. in Room G210 in Purdue's Lynn Hall of Veterinary Medicine. The event is sponsored by the School of Veterinary Medicine's Center for Paralysis Research, which is part of the Purdue - Indiana University Institute for Applied Neurology.
In his talk, Scott will present new insights gained by studying how defects that arise in embryos are expressed in adults. He also will discuss how these studies of abnormalities can be used to gain a better understanding of normal development.
