The goal and mission of the Center for Pediatric Immunology is to advance the care of children with immune system disorders. The center is focused on providing scientific infrastructure for the investigation and therapy of pediatric inborn errors of immunity, with a focus on discovery of molecular (genetic) mechanisms of disease.

Fostering a culture of learning

Through sponsored events and generous funding opportunities, the center strives to connect clinicians, scientists and trainees to enable the insights needed to address the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Diagnosing pediatric immune disease

Drawing on state-of-the-art technologies, robust infrastructure and targeted functional studies to elucidate genetic diagnosis that will lead to new therapies for children with immune system disorders.

Another one of these diseases that attacks children, especially boys, has been discovered. And now researchers worldwide are working together to find innovative ways to help save these kids.
