Program Overview:

The Women’s Health Research Institute (WHRI) presents the Annual Women's Health Research Symposium as both an in-person and virtual event.  The theme of this year’s event is “From Science to Solutions: Building Bridges from Discovery Science to Women’s Health” and aims to celebrate the work of local investigators who are driving research excellence in the basic sciences by including biological sex as a variable in their work, which will improve women’s health in the long term. This event targets researchers, research trainees, clinicians, and other relevant groups offering a platform for collaboration, research dissemination, and identifying future opportunities in women-focused health research. In addition to presentations, the event will include dedicated networking time, a poster session, and a separate mentorship and networking event for trainees engaged in women’s health research. Note this event is NOT accredited.
