Coming Soon Fall 2025: Our First POD Center Symposium
This symposium will bring together researchers, clinicians, and students to explore research related to perinatal origins of health disparities and their impact across the lifespan. The event will feature a distinguished keynote speaker, oral presentations, and dedicated poster sessions showcasing research from undergraduate students, graduate students, and early career faculty.
The final date and location are still being finalized for this event. Please stay tuned as additional details will be shared soon!
