It shines a spotlight on the incredible work of our students and mentors, builds connections across disciplines, and inspires the leadership needed to shape a healthier, more equitable future.

"Research Day at the Milken Institute School of Public Health is an opportunity for our community to showcase its exceptional research across the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of public health. From health policy and management worldwide to chronic disease in the United States to emerging and re-emerging zoonotic disease, this event highlights the importance of public health research by showcasing novel research, fostering valuable collaborations and connections, and facilitating meaningful discussions. For many of our research community members, this will be their first foray into scientific presentation of ideas, methods, findings, and meaning. We are excited to join on this day to share, receive and advance knowledge towards a healthier future."
