Child Health and Education Lab

Improving outcomes for children with chronic illnesses through research and education, the Child Health and Education Lab focuses on conditions such as Sickle Cell Disease and brain tumors. Led by Allison King, MD, MPH, PhD, our team investigates how environmental, cognitive and psychosocial factors influence health and development. Through partnerships like the Heartland and Southwest Sickle Cell Disease Network, we work to enhance care and quality of life across an eight-state region, while advancing strategies for assessment, transition and long-term support.
