Research Centers

The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital is organized into Centers of Emphasis that allow traditional academic boundaries to be crossed and merged. Scientific and clinical interests prevail in this model which encourages collaboration and the free flow of ideas.  Interdisciplinary teams develop novel approaches to common and often serious diseases of childhood.

Each of the Centers has a thematic focus, ranging from the most basic molecular biology to applied, patient-oriented research.  The Center Directors are leaders in their respective fields, and the individual faculty members have been selectively recruited to help achieve the Center mission.
