Research into causes, characteristics, treatments, responses, side effects and long-term outcomes is performed every day to enhance the ongoing health and quality of life of children. Multidisciplinary teams take problems encountered in the clinic back to the laboratory to better understand cellular and molecular mechanisms, then return to the clinic with improved treatment strategies. We focus on translational research using outcomes data to provide the most advanced medical technology and updated clinical protocols.

Collaboration between organizations ensures that the best resources come together to provide the best outcomes for your child's care.
