As part of our efforts to advance precision health and transform human health across the lifespan, we have invited leading scientists and clinician-scientists to present their innovative research projects that embody this vision. These projects demonstrate leadership in transformative discoveries and align with our strategic priorities. They highlight key contributions to precision health and showcase the groundbreaking work that propels us toward our 2030 vision. 13:00 - 13:15 - Alex Baldwin (BRaIN)Digital approaches to measuring and treating amblyopia 13:15 - 13:30 - Ahmad Haidar (MeDiC)Novel technologies and therapeutics for type 1 diabetes 13:30 - 13:45 - Sampath Loganathan (CRP)The challenge of tumor heterogeneity: Developing and utilizing gene editing methods in immune competent mouse models to study cancer 13:45 - 14:00 - Deborah Assayag (RESP)A personalized approach to interstitial lung diseases: An interdisciplinary collaborative effort 14:00 - 14:15 - Matthias Friedrich (CHAL)Oxygenation-Sensitive Cardiovascular MR of Coronary Vascular Function as a Novel Biomarker for Managing Cardiovascular Health 14:15 - 14:30 - Anie Philip (SIS)CD109: A Double-Edged Sword- Ally in Fibrosis, Foe in Cancer! 14:30 - 14:45 - Andréanne Lupien (IDIGH)Accelerating Tuberculosis Prevention: Assessing Novel TB Preventive Treatments in a Preclinical Infection Model 14:45 - 15:00 - Annette Majnemer (CHHD)Partnering with purpose: Shaping vision 2030 by promoting patient-oriented research

Join us for an interactive poster session. Abstracts have been selected from our 8 research programs programs and 3 centers that align with our 2030 Vision of advancing precision health. Selected graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are invited to present a poster, showcasing innovative research that contributes to transformative discoveries and improvements in patient care. Embrace this chance to exchange insights, ask questions, and help foster lasting collaborations. This year's event promises to be unforgettable.
