Mission | The primary mission of the Gene Therapy Center at the University of Florida is to merge molecular genetics research and health care delivery by developing new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of human diseases that involve gene transfer. The diseases that might benefit from gene therapy include: hereditary diseases such as cystic fibrosis or hemophilia; somatic genetic defects such as cancer; inflammatory diseases such as sepsis; and chronic diseases that have a genetic or viral component such as heart disease and hepatitis. |

Mission | The Child Health Research Institute was established in 2006 to provide the environment necessary to focus on and develop a wide variety of unique research concepts and to support pilot research activities of faculty to obtain data necessary to submit research proposals to outside agencies. The institute also supports fellows and residents during their research rotation which is a requirement of their Pediatric and Pediatric Sub-Specialty training programs. The development of a sustainable Pediatric research program that encompasses basic science, bench-to-bedside, clinical and outcomes projects has required focused administrative support and stable infrastructure that supports initiative from within and outside of the Department of Pediatrics. The Child Health Research Institute was established and continues to function to further these research initiatives that generate extramural funding for the PIs. |
