Nemours Center for Childhood Cancer Research

Our goal is to achieve 100 percent cure rate of childhood cancers with minimal side effects. The work of NCCCR seeks to include scientists, physicians, patients, families and the community. Under the direction of Ayyappan Rajasekaran, PhD, NCCCR is working to create a National Cancer Institute-designated center where basic research closely complements clinical research in childhood cancers and develops strategies to advance cancer awareness, diagnosis and treatment.

The comprehensive research program of the Nemours Center for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders is closely linked with clinical care and health education for our patients. Pediatric endocrinology is a specialty dealing with both common and very rare diseases. Type 1 diabetes, the second most common chronic disease in children, is probably the most recognized condition of the pediatric endocrine specialist, yet disorders of growth and puberty also top the list.
