Our research helps improve the health of children. A century ago, children routinely died of infections and nutritional deficiencies. Not long ago there were few treatment options for childhood cancer, premature birth, and congenital heart or brain diseases. Our research has made significant strides in these areas. Today our challenge is to help young patients live healthier lives as they move into adulthood. Our goals are to prevent childhood diseases, limit complications from treatment, and effectively manage chronic illnesses.
