Nemours researchers and clinicians in the Delaware Valley and Florida are working hard to develop new ways to help children and teens like Akari breathe easier.
At the Center for Pharmacogenomics and Translational Research (CPTR), our multidisciplinary team focuses on asthma and other diseases, with an eye toward tailoring treatments to fit each child's individual needs.
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genetic variations influence a person's response to medication — why some drugs work better for some children than for others, and what part genes may play in a medication's effectiveness. Translational research means taking what we learn in research and using that information to improve patient care — translating findings from the lab to the bedside.
The CPTR brings Nemours doctors, nurses, researchers and respiratory therapists together in a team approach to caring for children. Combining our research efforts with patient care allows Nemours doctors to achieve the best possible outcome for each child.
