Training Future Leaders in Pediatric Biomedical Research
The Development, Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine Graduate Program at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center—formerly the Molecular and Developmental Biology (MDB) Program—offers a unique opportunity to participate in cutting-edge human development and childhood disease research while being embedded in one of the top pediatric hospitals in the nation. Cincinnati Children's provides outstanding cutting-edge facilities and has been the home of major breakthroughs in both pediatric and adult medicine.
Our Research
Our research spans a diverse set of disciplines and examines a multitude of cellular, molecular and systems-based questions. We are a highly collaborative group, partnering with discovery-based scientists and clinicians across various divisions to translate our discoveries into new medicines and treatments. Our scientists utilize a variety of model systems and approaches to uncover mechanisms that guide organ formation at both a cellular and tissue level, elucidate the developmental basis of disease, and harness the potential of stem cells and organoids for regenerative medicine.Our six main areas of investigation are:
- Organogenesis, Congenital Disease, & Therapeutics
- Stem Cells and Organoid Medicine
- Neurobiology
- Genetics, Genomics & Bioinformatics
- Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Biology
- Cancer Biology & Immunological Disease
