Emory + Children’s Announce Launch of the Research and Epidemiology for Adolescent and Child Health (REACH) Center
Emory and Children’s have launched the Research and Epidemiology for Adolescent and Child Health (REACH) Center. Led by newly recruited distinguished faculty members, Philip Lupo, PhD and Michael Scheurer, PhD, and in partnership with the former Center for Clinical Research and Public Health (CORPH) Interim Director, Shasha Bai, PhD, REACH is designed to serve as a leading hub for child-focused and population-based research and aims to advance collaborative research initiatives to improve pediatric health outcomes.
REACH builds upon the work of the Center for CORPH, which was founded in 2011 by Dr. Ann Mertens to support child health-focused clinical outcomes and public health research. CORPH has played a crucial role in promoting high-quality epidemiologic and clinical research, mentoring young investigators, and linking healthcare practices to patient outcomes to improve quality of care. The work of CORPH was transformative and has led to this important next phase.

This 40-page report highlights the incredible accomplishments of Children's-Emory researchers in 2024 and shares our vision for research moving forward.
National Institutes for Health (NIH) funding is critical to ensure academic medical centers continue to pursue innovative research in areas that advance patient care and human health. As a leading R1 research institute, Emory University is forging new pathways to advance science and clinical care through this essential federal funding.
Each year, the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research (BRIMR) publishes a ranking of U.S. academic institutions and health care systems based on the research funding they received from NIH the prior year.
In 2024, Emory received more than $488 million and is among the top 20 in the nation overall for institutional funding from the NIH.
Heart disease is the number one cause of death in women, yet few young women know their heart disease risk or the steps they can take to improve their heart health. Our team, led by Dr. Holly Gooding, worked collaboratively with adolescents to create a heart health screening tool and successfully incorporated it into adolescent reproductive health and primary care visits.

Emory University is hopeful that a new study will lead to a breakthrough in childhood cancer treatment. The university says new research from a partnership with Australia's QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute shows a potential new targeted treatment for brain cancer in children.
In a recent paper published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers say the novel drug CT-179 was shown to be effective in killing tumor cells in preclinical models using mice.
The drug specifically targeted tumor cells that are resistant to standard treatments, which could lead to more effective and less toxic treatments.
The researchers say the drug could possibly apply to other brain cancers as well.
Timothy Gershon, MD, PhD was one of the study's lead researchers. He is an Emory University Professor and also a pediatric neurologist at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and director of the Children’s Center for Neurosciences Research.
