The inaugural Leonard J. Newman, M.D. ’70, Assistant Professor Pediatric Research Symposium on November 16 was an opportunity for instructors and assistant professors in the Department of Pediatrics and pediatric subspecialties to present new and innovative biomedical research and engage in academic discussions.
The event hosted by the Department of Pediatrics and Boston Children’s Health Physicians (BCHP), and chaired by Mitchell S. Cairo, M.D., third from left, professor of pediatrics, medicine, pathology, microbiology and immunology, and cell biology and anatomy, and vice chair of the Department of Pediatrics, featured morning presentations of the four best basic, clinical, quality and translational research abstracts and an evening poster session.
The event honors Dr. Newman, a pediatric gastroenterologist, who has served as professor and chair of the Department of Pediatrics since 1992. He is responsible for the highly successful development and enrichment of both the academic and scholarship components of the Department as well as supporting junior faculty in research and education.
