History of Research
The history of research at Nationwide Children’s dates back to the hospital’s inception in 1892. Notable clinical research programs over the years have included the study of rhinoviruses as the agent of the common cold; microvolume techniques for blood testing, especially in small, premature infants; the development of an infant pulmonary function testing device; and most recently, the first human gene therapy trial for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Other innovative research poised to move toward clinical studies in children include a potential vaccine for ear infections; a vaccine to prevent RSV and hepatitis C infection; and further understanding into the mechanisms of autism spectrum disorders.
