The center’s organizing goal is to provide a spatially resolved multiomic molecular blueprint of gene regulation and expression across the pediatric lifespan in healthy and disease conditions and related educational opportunities and bioresources to the community.

Through these resources, innovations in educational activities, cross-species molecular maps and analyses in humans and preclinical models we aim to transform the field of pediatric research, attract new expertise and strategies to keep kidneys healthy in children.
