The Center for Childhood Infections and Vaccines (CCIV) leverages existing strengths at area institutions, including the Emory Vaccine Center and the CDC, to build a cross-disciplinary research center for the development of new vaccines and treatments for infectious diseases affecting children.

The Center for Clinical and Translational Research is the virtual home for pediatric clinical and translational research. The Center supports innovative clinical research studies and the translation of basic science discoveries into improved child health.

The Center for Cystic Fibrosis and Airways Disease Research (CF-AIR) is the home for two research programs, one focused on cystic fibrosis (CF), and one focused on asthma. Research in other airway diseases, such as COPD and non-CF bronchiectasis, also is of interest.

The mission of Center for ViroScience and Cure (CVC) is to develop therapeutic and curative strategies that improve the lives of the many who are battling acute, chronic and difficult-to-treat virus infections and related complications. 

Our mission at GENI is to discover and address the nutritional and metabolic factors each child requires for a long, healthy, and productive life.

The Children’s Center for Immunity and Applied Genomics (CIAG) maintains its focus on immunology and incorporates genomics to drive personalized and precision medicine for children. To our knowledge, CIAG will be unique in combining a primary genomic medicine theme with clinical immunology.

Children’s Center for Neurosciences Research (CCNR) brings together multidisciplinary research teams of basic scientists and clinical investigators to study and discover underlying mechanisms and potential treatments for neurologic disorders affecting children. 

Cellular therapy is the transplantation of human cells to replace or repair damaged tissue and/or cells. The Marcus Center for Cellular Therapy provides the leadership and expertise necessary to bring cellular therapies now being developed in the lab, to the bedside.

The Pediatric Research Alliance Heart Research and Outcomes Center (HeRO) seeks to reduce the morbidity of pediatric heart disease.

This center centralizes and coordinates child-health focused outcomes and epidemiologic research throughout the system, emphasizing strong ties to the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University and to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

Marcus Autism Center is one of the largest autism centers in the U.S. We conduct research into why and how autism develops by studying the different trajectory for each child, and we establish evidence for best clinical practices. 

The mission of the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Pediatric Technology Center at Georgia Tech is to establish the world’s leading program in the development of technological solutions for children’s health.
