About

The theme followed research from early discovery, through validation, to real-world implementation. Discovery meant finding patterns in complex data, causation asked which findings hold up and the reasons behind them, and cures concerned applying evidence to policy and clinical care.

Annual MCHRI Symposium 2026 took place on October 22, 2026.

It was held at Li Ka Shing Center, Berg Hall, 2nd Floor.

The organizer describes the audience as faculty, trainees, students, and postdocs exploring maternal and child health research.

It is most useful for faculty, trainees and postdocs doing maternal and child health research, since the day was organized around moving from early signals to tested causes and then to policy and care delivery. Speakers such as Alan Tita of UAB, Aydogan Ozcan of UCLA and Manisha Desai of Stanford pointed to a research and data-methods emphasis, so practicing clinicians wanting hands-on clinical updates would get less from it.

Academic research symposia usually see business casual or smart casual clothing, such as slacks, button-down shirts and sweaters.
