Emerging Innovators in Collaborative Research - October 5, 2021

Join us as we recognize emerging leaders in collaborative research and participate in a forum to learn about their science. The Emerging Innovators in Collaborative Research program, organized by the Office of Academic Training and Outreach Programs (ATOP), recognizes exceptional non-faculty researchers-in-training and research staff who have contributed significantly to a collaborative project, producing high impact research at Children's Hospital. All speakers for the series have been nominated by their Department Chair, Division Chief or Faculty Mentor and represent a variety of scientific disciplines and research areas.

Program Goals

• Provide a forum for outstanding non-faculty researchers to present and discuss their science
• Celebrate the successes of future leaders in pediatric research
• Build community and collaboration among colleagues and the broader CHOP community
