Clinical and Epidemiologic Research
Established in 2003, and directed by Dr. Moss, the Yale Center for Children’s Surgical Research (YCCSR) affirms the core values of the Pediatric Surgery section. Under its umbrella, widely diverse, evidence-based, multi-center studies are conducted.
Basic/Translational Research
The Tissue Engineering laboratory’s primary focus is the development of tissue engineered vascular grafts for implantation into human infants with congenital heart disease. In short, this laboratory is growing blood vessels in the laboratory out of a patient’s own tissue for later implantation into that patient to correct its congenital defect.
