As a leader in pediatric research, Children’s Memorial Research Center is dedicated to preventing childhood illness, treating pediatric conditions for which cures are not available, and promoting healthier lifestyles. Our scientists include investigators who work to uncover genetic mechanisms of disease, clinicians whose patients inspire them to find better therapeutics, and researchers who train family physicians. Whether the cause is cancer, a birth defect, chronic illness or the environment, we collaborate to discover solutions. This report will highlight the accomplishments of the past year and our hopes for the future.
