Life-Changing Research Happens Here
Research at 91´óÉñ is rooted in purpose.ÌýWe focus on the conditions that most affect children’s lives, like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and mental health. We also study the everyday factors that shape their well-being. Our researchers look beyond disease to explore the full picture of what makes kids healthy — from genetics and treatments to housing, nutrition, education, and emotional support.
We believe that health means more than the absence of illness. It means having the chance to move, to learn, to grow, to laugh and play. That’s why our research reaches beyond the lab into clinics, communities, and children’s lives. We're creating the foundation for lifelong health for this generation and the next.
