Health & Development Across the Lifespan

We warmly invite you to meet students and faculty from across Wayne State's campus who research the issues that impact well-being from conception to late-life.

We study adolescent resilience, prenatal care for substance abuse, older adult nutrition, memory changes across the lifespan, child health and divorce, and much more. Hear our methods and results as students compete for best poster and best presentation.

All are welcome. Join us for any part of the day one block north of the Detroit Institute of Arts between Woodward Ave. and John R..
