Develop non-invasive measures to identify abnormal placental function in babies with and without congenital anomalies.

To advance research on Minimal Change Disease (MCD), Focal and Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and Membranous Nephropathy (MN) that define nephrotic syndrome.

We are conducting a research study about visual problems in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We believe that many children with autism may have undiagnosed eye problems because they cannot explain when they have trouble seeing and may not undergo routine eye exams. We hope to develop a method to screen for visual problems in using a new, non-invasive technology called eye tracking. We will use a camera to record your child’s eye movements as they watch video clips for 15-20 minutes.

This is an observational study that employs qualitative methods (13 focus groups and 22 individual interviews) targeting 130 sexually active and non-sexually active adolescent and young adult (AYA) females, living with chronic illness or disability. The study is designed to explore the extent to which their experiences living with chronic illness and engagement in ongoing medical management has an impact on their contraception decision making and perception of LARC as a viable option.

Our purpose is to look at the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm neonatal brain abnormalities.

Study early development in infants who have an older sibling with autism.

Understand the experiences of patients and parents in treatment decision making for children with Neuromuscular Scoliosis (NMS).

To better understand the effects of nutrition in early pregnancy on infant growth and development.

The primary aim of this registry will be to identify genes and/or biologic and environmental factors that either cause these tumors or increase one's risk for developing them. Ultimately, research using this registry may result in improved diagnosis, more effective treatments and possibly prevention.
