The Saban Research Institute Annual Symposium highlights exciting strides being made by researchers from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the University of Southern California (USC) and around the globe in understanding the developmental origins of health and disease. Each year, the theme of the symposium reflects a research priority area of The Saban Research Institute and USC.

This year’s theme, “Models of Human Disease from the Laboratory to the Clinic,” focuses on the use of preclinical models—what works, what doesn’t, and why—to advance research on human diseases.

Join us for this unique opportunity to come together and hear from experts as they discuss a topic of tremendous relevance to our research enterprise.

A reception will be included.
