The Tri-State Symposium on Reproductive Sciences, or Tri-Repro for short, evolved from CoRe’s highly successful annual symposium that began in 2008. In 2017, we invited the Magee Womens Research Institute at the University of Pittsburgh to join us in a rotating annual series, and in 2025, we welcomed Rutgers University into the rotation. Together, these four centers of excellence in reproductive biology and medicine represent the regional Tri-Repro consortium, led by Paula Cohen (Cornell), Marisa Bartolomei (Penn), Kyle Orwig (Pittsburgh), and Karen Schindler (Rutgers). In 2019 and again in 2026, we secured R13 funding from the National Institute of Child Health and Development to partially support the costs of this annual event, with remaining costs being split between the three centers. Each year, Tri-Repro is organized by a committee made up of trainees from the three institutions who select keynote speakers and choose trainee speakers from the dozens of abstracts that are submitted. We welcome researchers from across the Northeast and nationally, with a heavy emphasis on providing networking opportunities for our trainees. The current schedule for Tri-Repro is as follows:
2026 Cornell University
2027 Rutgers University
2028 University of Pittsburgh
2029 University of Pennsylvania
