The Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba is proud to annually host the Child Health Research Days (CHRD) conference.

CHRD is an exciting and unique event focused on innovative child health research happening in Manitoba, Canada, and around the world. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from internationally acclaimed speakers on a range of pertinent topics; network and collaborate with fellow researchers; participate in workshops and discussion sessions; and learn about exciting advancements in the future of child health from our trainees.

CHRD provides a stimulating educational environment for both researchers and trainees, with opportunities for trainees to participate in poster sessions and the Dr. Goodbear’s Den oral competition.

From Cells to Society: Child Health Through Science, Culture, and Community

This year’s theme is From Cells to Society: Child Health Through Science, Culture, and Community and it will cover a spectrum of topics that affect child health and relating these to their impact throughout the human life cycle. We cover prenatal, infancy, early childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, examining biological, social, and cultural effectors. Below is an overview of what the two exciting days will include:
