Innovators in pediatric care research. Defenders of childhood.
Every child is unique. That’s why at CHOC, our research – including more than 500 active studies in more than 30 specialties – is focused on finding innovative solutions for each child entrusted to our care. Our scientists translate the latest advances in molecular diagnosis, including whole genome sequencing, to meet the individual needs of our patients at every stage of their young lives – from infancy through adolescence. We are committed to finding the answers that each child needs to thrive.
