On March 29 ,2024, one hundred and ten scientists attended the thirty-second annual meeting of the Triangle Consortium for Reproductive Biology (TCRB) held at McKimmon, Center North Carolina State University making the meeting one of the largest in the history of the TCRB. Indrani Bagchi, PhD, Billie Field Professor of Reproductive Biology, Department of Comparative Biosciences, University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign College of Veterinary Medicine presented the second Phyllis Leppert Lecture on the topic “Cellular mechanisms controlling the maternal-fetal interface”. During her presentation she discussed the cell-cell interactions between endometrial cells and trophoblasts. She ended her talk by discussing studies demonstrating the impact of phthalates on implantation. The Campion Fund Award for the top oral presentation was given to Lenka Radonova, PhD, a visiting fellow in the Laboratory of Carmen Williams, MD, PhD in the Reproductive and Developmental Biology Laboratory, the National Institute of Environment Health Sciences. Her presentation was entitled “Mitochondria-endoplasmic reticular domain in Ca2+ signaling at fertilization”. The top poster award was given to Virginia Savy, PhD, also a visiting fellow in Carmen Williams’ Laboratory for her work “Calcium oscillation: the egg’s elevator pitch at fertilization.” More details regarding their research along with their photographs is posted on this website under Awardees. The TCRB paid tribute to David William Schomberg, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Obstetrics and Gynecology. A poster presentaiton in honor of his life described his distinguished career in reproductive endocrinology. Born on November 6, 1939 in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, he died recently in Durham, North Carolina on February 2, 2024. He received his PhD at Purdue University in 1965. Following this, he was a postdoctoral fellow with Roger V. Short, PhD at University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. Roger Short was the first to isolate and measure progesterone. David Schomberg joined the Duke University faculty in 1968. His work on gonadotropin releasing factor receptors, growth factors and ovarian cell activity was funded for decades by the National Institutes of Health. Before his retirement from Duke University, he studied ovarian cancer. David Schomberg was one of the founders of the Triangle Consortium for Reproductive Biology and made a great contribution to the success of the annual scientific meeting over many years.
