Researchers and physicians at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia are part of a transdisciplinary team that will apply sophisticated technology and methodology in molecular biology and genomics to help better understand the basis for preterm birth.
The Heuckeroth Lab's work on the enteric nervous system spans stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, developmental biology, neurodegenerative disease, genetics, epidemiology, and gene-environment interactions.
The dynamic research program in the Anderson Lab focuses on development of the cerebral cortex and explores the molecular underpinnings behind subtypes of cerebral cortical interneurons implicated in the neuropathology of schizophrenia and other disorders.
The Almasy Lab uses computational approaches to study the contribution of genetic factors to the etiology of complex disorders and neuropsychiatric phenotypes across the lifespan.
