About Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute

Our Mission

We believe all children have unique needs and should grow up without illness or injury. With the support of the community and through our spirit of inquiry, we will prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric disease.

Our Vision

We will be a worldwide leader in pediatric research aimed to improve the health and well being of people of all ages.

Seattle's reputation as a leading force in biotechnology attracts the world's best pediatric physicians and scientists to Children's Research Institute. Our scientists work in interdisciplinary Research Centers around common thematic focus areas and identifiable sets of core programs.

Our research campus is located in the heart of Seattle's biotechnology community; close to our key partners the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Our success is due in large part to the generosity of our community. Our donors know that their gifts to research benefit children worldwide; we are humbled by their selfless generosity.
