Every year, WCHRI hosts a keynote presentation at Research Day featuring a researcher doing incredible work to advance the lives of women and children.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Manu Vatish, a clinician-scientist whose research has transformed the understanding, diagnosis, and management of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Drawing on his experiences as a practicing obstetrician, researcher, and global health leader, Dr. Vatish will explore how clinical challenges can inspire research to improve outcomes for women and children. He will also discuss the intersection of scientific discovery and global health leadership, and how strategic partnerships can accelerate the translation of research into real-world impact.
