DOHaD World Congress 2022

By DOHaD

We are delighted to welcome you to the DOHaD World Congress 2022 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from August 27 to August 31 (inclusive), 2022. The theme for the main Congress is Social and Environmental Disruptions in DOHaD: Successful Interventions for a Healthy Future. There will be sub-themes concerned with new aspects and mechanisms of DOHaD, pre-pregnancy and paternal influences, the impact of DOHaD on first nations, refugees and migrant populations and the impact of environment and climate change on DOHaD. We will apply this information to world-wide populations and to interventions that optimise childhood development and healthy life trajectories. We anticipate sessions on new topics as broad as DOHaD and cancer, DOHaD and immune responsiveness, DOHaD and Ageing, the built environment, developmental trajectories in domestic animals, the importance of maternal health, epigenetics, influencing policy and practice, working with government, and the economic impact of DOHaD. Key characteristics of the program will include high profile opportunities for trainees and early career investigators, a strong emphasis on implementation science and involvement of consumers and community organisations and application of DOHaD principles to populations; precision medicine on a population scale.
