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.
