The Weill Cornell Medicine Department of Pediatrics and the Drukier Institute for Children’s Health hosted the fourth annual Pediatric Research Day to highlight research conducted by faculty, fellows, residents, graduate students, postdocs, medical students, and other researchers working in the Department of Pediatrics or collaborating departments and institutions. All fellows and senior residents are present their scholarly work during this event.
This event celebrated the depth and breadth of the research performed in the Department and Institute, fosters collaborations across research teams and between faculty and trainees, and is a wonderful demonstration that research contributes personally and collectively towards the goal of advancing care for children. Additionally, the event aimed to foster mentoring and networking relationships across career levels and between the College and affiliated institutions.
The day consisted of four sessions throughout the day. Posters categories were divided into (1) basic science, (2) translational research, (3) clinical research, and (4) education, health services, healthcare policy, quality improvement, and others. Posters were judged by a panel of experts in their respective fields, and an award for outstanding poster was presented for each category.
A plenary talk was provided by invited keynote speaker, Dr. Dusan Bogunovic, Professor and Principal Investigator, of the Bogunovic Lab at Icahn school of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
