Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children’s seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research. By constantly developing new techniques, treatments and cures, Children’s is committed to advancing pediatric research and medicine.
Children’s pursues research excellence by:
- Initiating clinical trials and studies
- Interpreting data and findings
- Translating results into clinical applications
- Sharing the knowledge
Research at Children’s involves virtually all areas of pediatrics, including our research centers, as well as nurse-conducted research and evidence-based practice.
Our reseach centers include:
- Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service
- Center for Cardiovascular Biology
- Center for Clinical Outcomes Research and Public Health
- Center for Cystic Fibrosis Research
- Center for Developmental Lung Biology
- Center for Endothelial Biology
- Center for Immunology and Vaccines
- Center for Pediatric Healthcare Technology Innovation
- Center for Pediatric Nanomedicine
- Center for Transplant Immunology and Immune Therapeutics
- Marcus Autism Center

Children's Research News
New Health Sciences Research Building
The new Health Sciences Research Building will offer a pediatric research partnership between Emory and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
Leading Edge Pediatric Diabetes Research and Drug Trial
Eric Felner, MD, MSCR, and Mark Rigby, MD, PhD, have launched a clinical trial evaluating whether a drug used for psoriasis will halt or slow the progression of Type 1 diabetes.
First Center for Pediatric Nanomedicine in the Nation
In 2011, Children’s will premiere the first Center for Pediatric Nanomedicine in the nation. This effort will be lead in conjunction with Emory, Georgia Tech and Morehouse. Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating materials, structures and devices at the molecular level. Nanomedicine uses this technology to diagnose, treat and cure damaged tissue or disease.
The Center for Pediatric Nanotechnology is committed to developing nanomedicine to its full potential. The center’s researchers study and engineer nanotechnology to develop effective, therapeutic nanomedicine. Because it can be applied to many pediatric diseases and conditions, nanomedicine has the potential to profoundly improve—if not completely revolutionize—the treatment, care and ultimate cure of childhood diseases and conditions. Areas of focus include:
- Pediatric Heart Disease and Thrombosis
- Infectious Disease
- Cancer
- Sickle Cell Disease
- Cystic Fibrosis
