Join the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) in 2021 for its first-ever virtual conference


The Developing Brain Institute at Children’s National, directed by Catherine Limperopoulos PH.D., focuses on the developing brain, in utero, after birth and through preschool. This year, our research-scientists had 16 abstracts accepted for the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) 2021 | Virtual Meeting. Of note, seven (44%) are platform presentations. The PAS meeting assembles academic researchers, specialists, generalists, clinical practitioners and pediatric educators and is presented by four partner pediatric organizations - the American Pediatric Society, Society for Pediatric Research, Academic Pediatric Association and American Academy of Pediatrics.
