Symposia: New England Eating Disorders Research Collaborative




In 2006, the Harris Center and the Neuroendocrine Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital established the New England Research Collaborative to promote interaction among researchers in the field of eating disorders. The Collaborative hosts several symposia per year, offering scientists, clinicians and educators the opportunity to exchange ideas, keep abreast of recent advances in the field, and discuss future directions in eating disorders research. Attended by at least two dozen professionals, these forums consist of presentations on particular topics followed by group discussion.
