Mission and Goals
The overall goal of our Digestive Health Center is to promote research that will yield insights into the fundamental processes and pathogenic mechanisms of digestive disease in children and generate innovative treatment to restore digestive health. Specifically, our long-term goals are to improve child health through better diagnosis, treatments and outcomes for our three key targeted focus areas including:
- Mechanisms of Liver Disease
- Digestive Disease and Immunity
- Stem Cell and Organoid Modeling of Digestive Disease
Biomedical Research Cores
The focus areas are linked by four highly innovative Biomedical Research Cores:
