Bringing together leading researchers and clinicians, this series creates a collaborative forum to advance child health through innovative science. Each session showcases cutting-edge research, emerging methodologies and opportunities for interdisciplinary partnerships, with the goal of accelerating the translation of discoveries into improved care for children and families.

Providing expert coordination for pediatric research, the PCRC Pool offers flexible support to investigators across the School of Medicine. Through paid and subsidized options, the program supplies clinical research coordinator effort for government, industry and investigator-initiated studies. Subsidized support is available to junior investigators and feasibility projects, helping generate preliminary data that can lead to future external funding and advance child health research.

Supporting high-quality pediatric research, the PCRU offers dedicated space, nursing, study coordination and bionutritional support for clinical studies involving children. Located on the 11th floor of St. Louis Children’s Hospital (11W19), the unit features exam and interview rooms, a procedure area and facilities for phlebotomy and sample processing — providing investigators with the infrastructure and expertise needed to conduct safe and efficient research.

Providing focused immersion in investigative pediatric digestive diseases, the Pediatric Gastroenterology Research Training Program (Award #5T32DK077653) offers two years of mentored research training for two predoctoral and four postdoctoral fellows across complementary tracks in microbial–host interactions, GI developmental biology and translational research, preparing future leaders in pediatric gastroenterology, nutrition and hepatology.

Strengthening the future of medical genetics and genomic medicine, the Pediatric Genomic Medicine Training Program (Award #1T32GM139799) provides intensive postdoctoral training for physician‑scientists through focused mentorship and cutting‑edge research in areas of rapidly growing clinical need, preparing trainees to advance innovative, data‑driven diagnostics and therapies in pediatric and genomic medicine.

Training the next generation of pediatric cancer investigators, the Pediatric Hematology & Oncology Training Program (PHO‑TP; Award #2T32CA269116) provides intensive, mentored postdoctoral research training for outstanding MD and MD/PhD fellows, combining rigorously selected research experiences with a comprehensive curriculum to prepare physician‑scientists for independent careers in pediatric hematology and oncology research.

Addressing the global burden of infectious diseases in children, the Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Immunity Training Program (Award #5T32AI106688) provides intensive postdoctoral training for physician‑scientists focused on applying advanced genomic and immunologic approaches to understand host–pathogen interactions and improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pediatric infections.

Exploring the molecular foundations of pediatric health, this seminar brings together scientists and clinicians to share breakthroughs in genetics, genomics and precision medicine. This series provides a platform for discussing cutting-edge research and innovative approaches aimed at translating molecular discoveries into improved diagnostics, therapies and outcomes for children.

Built on the philosophy that excellent pediatric neurologists combine compassionate care, curiosity and a commitment to teaching, our program offers a rich, multidisciplinary training environment. Residents benefit from collaboration with colleagues across specialties, gaining diverse perspectives and career models that enhance both clinical and academic growth.

Fostering the development of future leaders in child health research, the Pediatric Physician‑Scientist Training Program (Award #5T32HD043010) provides intensive, protected three‑year postdoctoral research training for pediatricians through integrated basic science and clinical/translational pathways, leveraging advances in genetics and genomics to bridge laboratory discovery and pediatric clinical care.
