As the birthplace of academic pediatrics in the United States more than a century ago, Johns Hopkins Children's Center has been at the forefront of research. Our physician-scientists have unraveled and continue to unravel the mechanisms of childhood disease and to develop treatments for disorders common and rare.
But today we aim even higher. Today, we are on a mission to make all medicine pediatric by identifying and uprooting the seeds of adult diseases in childhood. Our investigators are fighting this battle on many fronts: in the lab, in clinic and at the patient bedside. They are harnessing the power of genetics, epigenetics and proteomics to understand disease behavior, design treatments and even cures.
Over the last 100 years, our work has altered the course of pediatric medicine in the United States-and worldwide-and we are confident that we will continue to redefine pediatrics for centuries to come.

Videos About Our Research
Arm Rest and Support Study
Tammy Brady, medical director of the pediatric hypertension program at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, discusses her latest research highlighting proper arm position for accurate blood pressure measurements. In this video, Brady reviews results from the study and the importance of educating patients who conduct home blood pressure measurements.
Interfacility Transport Response Time for Pediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Can We Do Better
Corina Noje, pediatric critical care physician, discusses her team’s multidisciplinary project, which aims to improve the interfacility transport time for children who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This research was presented during the Transport Medicine Scientific Session at the 2024 American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference & Exhibition.
Admission Temperatures to the Neonatal ICU After Therapeutic Hypothermia on Transport
Emmeline Tate, a nurse practitioner at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center discusses her abstract about a quality improvement project to meet and maintain the set benchmark of overcooling for infant actively cooled on transport. U.S. News & World Report set a benchmark of less than 10% of infants actively cooled on transport have admission temperatures less than 33 degrees Celsius.
