Pediatric medicine is the medicine of the future, offering opportunities to unlock the mysteries of adult diseases by curing the afflictions of our youngest patients. By learning, for example, how to cure heart disease in children, it may be possible to prevent heart disease in adults.
Research under way at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center promises progress against pediatric heart disease, cystic fibrosis and other pulmonary disorders, childhood cancers, emotional and neurological disorders, sickle cell anemia and other blood disorders, and many other diseases that strike children.
