Impact
Develop preventative strategies, diagnostics and early therapies to promote health in child and adult populations.
The Children's Health & Discovery Initiative is using pediatric health and societal data to improve childhood and lifelong health in the following areas:
- Genes and Biology
- Physical Environment
- Health and Behavior Needs
- Social and Economic Factors
