Welcome to the 6th Annual 2020 CHHD Research Day

Child Health and Human development Research Day is organized to provide the program members and guests to learn about the research in the program, reinforce and initiate collaborations.

To adapt our Research day to the current health crisis due to covid-19, this event will be held online as safety and health of our members is our priority.

Oral presentation will be held on Zoom.

Poster presentation will be held on the Fourwaves virtual poster platform which allows poster sessions to be interactive. You'll be able to roam poster to poster, see which posters have ongoing conversations and join them and ask your questions live to the presenter in a video conversation. Up to 8 persons will be able to join the presenter for a virtual video discussion!

All CHHD members from the CTB and CORE are invited to participate in this event!

CHHD Trainees will be put forward as we want this event to be an opportunity for you to show your results to your peers, receive feedback on your work and most of all, improve your communication skills which is primordial for any future researchers.

This Research day will also allow everyone to listen to oral presentations from a few of our invited Principal Investigators, and an Invited Speaker!

To receive the Research Day Booklet , please send an email to fanny.toussaint@muhc.mcgill.ca

We are looking forward to see you at this first virtual CHHD research day!
