Brain Imaging May Help Diagnose Autism
Research and CuresAt The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the race to find better care and cures for the illnesses, injuries and diseases that strike children is never ending. This passion has led to many firsts throughout the Hospital’s history such as development of the whooping cough vaccine in 1936, vaccines against measles, mumps and rubella and the development of a balloon catheter for use in cardiology. Children's Hospital has established five Centers of Emphasis - Applied Genomics, Biomedical Informatics, Cellular and Molecular Therapeutics, Childhood Cancer Research and Injury Research and Prevention. These centers were established to target resources to areas of research that will have the greatest impact on the development of therapies, interventions to prevent injury and cures for childhood disease.
