Pediatric Research

We're changing the way providers care for children. With the clinical strength of the nation's largest pediatric healthcare provider combined with an Alliance of top names in academic medical research, pediatric research in Atlanta is thriving.

Pediatric Research Alliance

Message from the Vice Chair of Research

The Pediatric research enterprise at Emory and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has undergone rapid and broad-based expansion in the last fifteen years. With investment from Children’s, the Woodruff Foundation and other philanthropies, we have increased the number of research faculty and greatly expanded our laboratory and clinical research resources.

Pediatric Research Alliance

The Pediatric Research Alliance encompasses Emory, Children’s, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Morehouse School of Medicine. With some of the largest patient volumes in the country, Children’s provides a unique venue for clinical research in pediatrics.
