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.
