Our Centers and Institutes

Blue circular organisms floating on a blue background

Cancer and Immunology Research

We drive groundbreaking basic and clinical research to benefit children with cancer, infection and immune-related 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 Research

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

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