DOHaD Summer Course 2021: The Next Frontier in Science

Developing fetus

Thank you to everyone who attended our very first summer DOHaD course! We apologize for technical difficulties that left us with only one day of the course recorded. Thank you for your patience. You can view the recording from day 1 here. Below you will find the presentations from the course. 

The OHSU Center for Developmental Health has one of the world’s largest and most established research groups in Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, or DOHaD. This course is designed specifically for graduate students, post-docs and early career scientists. We are looking forward to offering this class annually and in-person, beginning in 2022.
