Wolfson Children’s Hospital has a well-equipped, dedicated clinical research center staffed with experienced specialty-trained nurses. This unit allows the conduct of sophisticated and complex studies involving frequently sampled blood and other body fluids in children and phase I-III drug or device studies. We have access to the physical therapy department equipment in close geographic proximity. We have support from research dieticians and a PhD-level physical therapist. These resources allow for performance of complex endocrine and metabolic studies.

A DXA scanner is owned by the Nemours research programs. It is located at Wolfson Children's Hospital and is staffed by trained radiation technologists with extensive experience in bone densitometry and body composition. This lab provides fellows the unique exposure to reading and interpreting DXAs for research and clinical applications, a skill often tied to diagnostic radiology, but commonly run by endocrinologists.

This laboratory has a whole dedicated floor at the Nemours Children's Specialty Care building. The lab is well-equipped and is staffed with full-time PhD-level researchers and biochemists, as well as technicians. Collaboration with Wolfson Children’s Hospital, University of Florida Gainesville and Mayo Clinic allows us to expand the breadth of molecular and genetic studies that can be done.
