Children's Invests $75 Million in Research Centers
February 24, 2010
Source: Community Partnership Update/March 2010
The research partnership between Emory's Woodruff Health Sciences Center and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta gained strength this month when Children's announced it will invest $75 million in eight research centers of excellence over the next five years. The funding is part of the new research focus for Children's and its academic partners first announced in 2008.
Last November, Children's received $30 million from the Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation, including $25 million to help fund a new pediatric research building on the Emory campus.
The eight research centers will build on existing strengths of physicians and research faculty at Children's, Emory, Georgia Tech and Morehouse School of Medicine. Emory faculty will hold key leadership positions in the centers, which include the Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service of Children's and seven new priority areas: immunology and vaccines, transplant immunology and immune therapeutics, technology innovation, cystic fibrosis, developmental lung biology, endothelial cell biology, and cardiovascular biology.
