In the Laboratory

Laboratory research demands persistence and patience.  But the work done in the laboratory can often shift the way a disease is treated, or minimize side effects for curative therapies.   In our laboratories, dedicated researchers and physician-scientist are:

• asking basic questions about human biology
• seeing inside the body in new ways
• exploring the enormous potential of stem cells
• unlocking the mysteries of cancer cells
• discovering influential genes
• developing new tools to prevent and treat serious illness

For the ninth consecutive year, The Saban Research Institute ranks among the top five stand-alone pediatric research facilities in the nation in funding from the National Institutes of Health. 

We are the leader in funding in the western United States - our scientists are leading the way in discoveries that hold the greatest promise for children.
