BIOLOGY AND GENETICS
From epilepsy to chronic pain, we’re pinpointing the genetic changes that can predispose both children and adults to disease — and uncovering potential targets for new treatments.
Connect with our research leadership on biology and genetics.
Questions remain about the diagnosis and treatment of many conditions. At Boston Children’s, researchers are increasingly discovering that answers may be found within our cells.
