Our mission
The organizing goal of Washington University’s Pediatric Center of Excellence in Nephrology 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.
Mapping the cellular landscape
Through unique and innovative approaches and resources, WU Pediatric Center of Excellence will deliver novel concepts, knowledge and insights into the biology of kidney maturation and function in health and disease.
Nurturing a culture of learning
The PCEN draws new investigators towards pediatric kidney disease through a continuum of enrichment opportunities from open symposiums and seminars to competitive research placements.
