One of our principal goals in the Department of Pediatrics is to improve the health of children by improving medical knowledge and state-of-the-art research. New technology continues to offer advances that allow researchers to investigate research arenas which were never before thought possible. These emerging technologies have the potential to offer exciting breakthroughs for treating disease. A major focus of the Department of Pediatrics is “translational medicine” – taking the latest research and discoveries from the laboratories and translating it into clinical therapies and new techniques which result in improved outcomes for patients.
