Student Research Presentations

This summer, the Ward Summer Student Research Program attracted students from universities from all over Canada to collaborate alongside some of the brightest minds in  childhood disability research in the world. These budding young scientists were embedded in Bloorview Research Institute's research labs such as the Autism Research Centre, the CP Discovery Lab and the PRISM Lab to help researchers unlock a world of possibilities for children and youth with disabilities. One highlight of the program is the opportunity to showcase their research at the annual Ward Research Day held on Tuesday, July 21. Here is a sneak peak of their posters.
