Children's Hospital of Philadelphia researchers are optimizing genomic tools to make cancer diagnoses quicker, clearer, and more accurate for each individual patient. With faster and more precise diagnoses (the goal being 24 to 48 hours, rather than two to three weeks), patients can receive faster and more tailored treatments.

“Our goal is not only to cure the patient, but also to preserve their quality of life by minimizing side effects,” said Dr. Marylin Li, Vice Chief of the Division of Genomic Diagnostics and Director of Cancer Genomic Diagnostics at CHOP. “These children have long lives ahead of them, and traditional treatments like chemotherapy can have lasting, and often severe, effects. If we can minimize those side effects, that’s the beauty of precision treatment.”

Organoids are 3D models that help scientists study human disease in the lab by mimicking the structure and function of full-sized organs. While they have been used in gastrointestinal research for many years, a lack of consensus around reporting makes studies with organoids difficult to reproduce. A multi-institute initiative including Children's Hospital of Philadelphia researchers developed the “Organoid Reporting Toolkit” to make research with organoids more transparent, standardized, and effective, leading to stronger scientific studies.

Supported by a transformational $50 million gift from Einhorn Collaborative, the David Einhorn Institute for Early Relational Health at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has launched with the goal of advancing the science of connection to improve family well-being. The Institute will translate the science of early relationships into measurable interventions, clinical care, training, and worldwide public health practices.

“By understanding the social processes and developmental trajectories of our children, we can establish safeguards that promote health and resiliency,” Inaugural Director Dr. Dani Dumitriu said.
