DBMS Graduate Program Proposal
NEW GRADUATE PROGRAM PROPOSAL Submission Form This template is to be used when seeking approval for new Graduate programs of study leading to a degree. New program submissions must receive the approval of the Graduate Studies Executive Council (GSEC) prior to being externally reviewed. The submission, external review, and the internal response to the review will, as a package, be submitted by GSEC to the Senate Office for referral to the Senate Committee on Academic Development (SCAD) which will then make their recommendations to Senate. Academic Units are strongly advised to contact the Director of the Office of the Vice-Provost and Dean SGS or the appropriate Associate Dean in the SGS with any questions that arise during this proposal development.

Engraftment of Bone Marrow from Severe Combined Immunodeficient
Published January 19, 1998 Engraftment of Bone Marrow from Severe Combined Immunodeficient (SCID) Mice Reverses the Reproductive Deficits in Natural Killer Cell–deficient tge26 Mice By Marie-Josée Guimond,* Baoping Wang,‡ and B. Anne Croy* From the *Department of Biomedical Sciences, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 2W1; and the ‡Division of Immunology, Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02215 Summary A large, transient population of natural killer (NK) cells appears in the murine uterine mesome- trial triangle during pregnancy. Depletion of uterine (u) NK cells, recently achieved using gene-ablated and transgenic mice, results in pathology. Pregnancies from matings of homozy- gous NK and T cell–deficient tge26 mice have ,1% of normal uNK cell frequency, no devel- opment of an implantation site–associated metrial gland, and an edematous decidua with vascu- lar pathology that includes abnormally high vessel walls/lumens ratios. Fetal loss of 64% occurs midgestation and placentae are small. None of these features are seen in pregnant T cell–defi- Downloaded from cient mice. To confirm the role of the NK cell deficiency in these reproductive deficits, trans- plantation of tge26 females was undertaken using bone marrow from B and T cell–deficient scid/scid donors. Engrafted pregnant females have restoration of the uNK cell population, in- duced metrial gland differentiation, reduced anomalies in the decidua and decidual blood ves- sels, increased placental sizes, and restoration of fetal viability at all gestational days studied (days 10, 12, and 14). Thus, uNK cells appear to have critical functions in pregnancy that promote decidual health, the appropriate vascularization of implantation sites, and placental size.

Program, We Have Added a Few New Themes to the Program, Increasing the Number of These Concurrent Sessions to 12 in 2017
Co-Hosted by : WELCOME DELEGATES Welcome to the 4th Annual Canadian National Perinatal Research Meeting (CNPRM). We are delighted that you have all decided to join us for exciting and novel science and great fun at the Fairmont Montebello, Quebec! As you may know, although the CNPRM is only in its fourth year, Canadian perinatal researchers have been meeting yearly for nearly 40 years as Western and Eastern groups, and in February 2014 we came together to form a Canadian National meeting that was held in Banff. It was so successful that this new national annual format was adopted for the 2015 (Montebello) and 2016 (Banff) meetings and has formed the basis for the 2017 meeting as well. The 2017 meeting has achieved record numbers of registrants and trainees, which is evidence of Canada’s vibrant and growing perinatal research community, and our immense contribution to perinatal research and our role in the global effort of supporting and maintaining maternal and child health and policy. This year we have 384 registered delegates and 275 submitted abstracts (65 oral and 210 poster trainee presentations - A big thank you to all the members of the Thematic Committees who judged the submission). We also have three world-class international Plenary speakers, and for this year’s scientific program, we have added a few new themes to the program, increasing the number of these concurrent sessions to 12 in 2017. As in previous years, the meeting in 2017 will host two evening poster sessions; as well, for the first time this year, eight special interest workshop sessions will be included, with topics ranging from how to secure that first faculty position to topics such as neonatal feeding and improving neonatal care with the help of veteran parents.
