Our Centers and Institutes

Cancer & Immunology Research

Developing the best and most compassionate care for children with cancer, infectious diseases, and immune system disorders.

Genetic Medicine Research

We strive to transform children’s health through genome-enabled research, pre-clinical studies of experimental therapeutics, and clinical trials. We use this knowledge to restore health and prevent illness in childhood and throughout life.

Neuroscience Research

Our vision is to understand the development of the central nervous system and the cellular, molecular, synaptic, and network mechanisms of brain dysfunction to prevent or treat neurological, developmental, and behavioral disorders of childhood.

Translational Science

We work to improve the prevention and treatment of childhood diseases through scientific discoveries into preventative and therapeutic applications that address disease processes and disease-related issues.

Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation

The Sheikh Zayed Institute (SZI) strives to transform pediatric surgical innovation and intervention by making pediatric surgery more precise, less invasive, and pain free.

Clinical and Translational Science Institute at Children's National

The CTSI-CN is a partnership between Children’s National and The George Washington University that offers unique resources in translating discovery to improved health.

However, the study suggests the new investigational steroid doesn’t activate several additional pathways involved in prednisone’s bevy of undesirable side effects.
