The Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology is a now-defunct research center where the birth control pill was developed by Gregory Pincus and Min Chueh Chang. In 1995, the name was changed to the Worcester Foundation to Biomedical Research to better reflect the increased focus on medically related research, and the institution merged with the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 1997. The research facilites at 222 Maple Avenue, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts are currently operated as the Worcester Foundation Campus of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The Hoagland-Pincus Conference Center at this site hosts many small scientific seminars, meetings, and retreats.
