The Texas Children’s Research Institute spans the three core pillars of biomedical research—discovery, translation, and clinical investigation. This integrated approach means our investigators’ scientific breakthroughs can directly help our patients, all within the Texas Children’s healthcare system.

Discovery Research Centers

Discovery research is where breakthroughs begin. Our six specialized Discovery Research Centers each pursue the kind of early-stage discoveries that can revolutionize disease prevention and treatment:

Precision Medicine 

By integrating six interconnected precision medicine domains, we accelerate the translation of innovative research into treatments tailored to each patient’s individual needs, improving outcomes: 

Clinical Research

As the nation's largest children's hospital, Texas Children's serves one of the most extensive and diverse pediatric patient populations in the country. Our robust clinical research infrastructure—which includes AI-based applications built from detailed clinical data and informatics (Digital Twins)—leverages this unique advantage, allowing our investigators to conduct leading-edge clinical studies across the spectrum of childhood diseases and conditions. This combination of scale, diversity, and advanced capabilities accelerates the translation of discoveries into treatments that improve outcomes for children worldwide.
