2026 DHLRI Research Symposium
Wednesday, October 7, 2026
10am-3pm
Energy Advancement and Innovation Center
DHLRI is excited to extend our annual Research Day programming to include a new half-day research symposium. This year's symposium will focus on the genetic basis of heart and lung diseases and will feature short talks from several OSU and NCH PIs, along with a panel discussion that includes our Research Day keynote speaker, Calum MacRae, MD, PhD. The symposium is designed to foster innovation and collaboration among our members while encouraging the development and submission of large, collaborative grant proposals.
More information about the program can be found below.
Pre-registration is required. Attendance is limited to the first 100 registrants. Registration will close on Tuesday, September 15 at 11:59pm.
