The Mindich Child Health and Development Institute

At The Mindich Child Health and Development Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine, we facilitate translational research of diseases that affect infants, children, and adolescents by assembling outstanding physician-scientists and scientists in an intellectually rich and supportive environment. We foster collaborative scientific investigation, and we are training the next generation of scientific leaders in pediatric medicine.
