Last night’s ribbon cutting for the Morgan Center for Research and Innovation welcomed government officials, scientists, stakeholders, and the Morgan family to explore the 350,000-square-foot facility, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia’s newest research building. Attendees learned how its unique design features, from state-of-the-art lab space to a first-floor engineering hub, will accelerate pediatric research.

“The Morgan Center expands our research capacity, but more importantly, it expands what we can imagine for the future of pediatric medicine,” said Susan Furth, MD, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Vice President, at the ribbon cutting ceremony.
