At the Children's Health Research Institute, five teams of more than 100 Scientists and Associate Scientists dedicate their research to improving the health of infants, children and youth. They are studying the causes, cures and long-term effects of children's diseases, and are evaluating new therapies. Their insights and discoveries will make significant differences in the lives of children and youth of Canada and around the world.

This interdisciplinary group of scientists has been brought together to foster research collaborations and share state-of-the-art methodologies. The "coming together" provides opportunities to exchange information, to discover jointly and to share cutting edge equipment. The team approach allows effective research by enabling synergy. The diverse expertise of these researchers spans the entire life cycle of children, and all domains including biomedical, clinical, population and health policy research.

The “Team Approach” will make a difference in the lives of many children and youth.
