The Office of Faculty Development organizes institute-wide events that promote professional growth, collaboration, and networking within our research community.
CHOP Research Institute Seminar Series
The Research Institute Seminar Series is designed as an opportunity to share ideas, create collaborations, build community, and recognize achievement within the Research Institute. This is accomplished through monthly presentations by CHOP faculty, giving investigators an opportunity to highlight research currently taking place at CHOP and encouraging internal collaboration.
This series, formerly known as CHOP Research Faculty Luncheon, was rebranded in 2021 as a direct result of faculty input to better reflect the scope and goals of the series as the premier lecture series for the Research Institute. Speakers are selected by the Office of Faculty Development Advisory Group and the Chief Scientific Strategy Officer, Beverly Davidson, PhD. If you would like to make a speaker recommendation, please e-mail ofd@chop.edu. Selections are made 6-12 months in advance.
The seminar series is open to the broader CHOP community. View previous speakers.
