Healthy Start, Life-Long Impact: Eradicating Non-Communicable Disease

September 28 and 29, 2021

Thank you to all who participated in the 2021 Virtual Forum

The 2021 Forum will be held in a virtual, interactive format.  This topic is relevant for all of the health sciences disciplines represented by our Academy and should also interest you.  Predisposition to disease is affected by a broad range of factors, whether genetic, epigenetic or environmental.

This Virtual Forum will:

  • Examine current understanding of mechanisms underlying the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD);
  • Discuss new ways of predicting predisposition to disease;
  • Apply that knowledge to the diagnosis, intervention, and prevention of non-communicable disease across health disciplines;
  • Include delegates from the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) network, as well as other interested parties which will provide an opportunity for networking.

The discussion will apply to indigenous and immigrant populations as well as non-Indigenous Canadians to inform proposals for altered practice and government policy.

Forum Program

September 28th from 11:00 – 16:30 Eastern Time Zone
