Opportunities

Through support from generous donors, the Department of Pediatrics at Washington University and the St. Louis Children’s Hospital Foundation we are able to provide a number of research opportunities for our patients. Patients and their families have the opportunities to enroll in studies focused on identifying genetic causes of their disease, a better understanding of immune deficiencies including newborn screening, as well as clinical trials for the treatment of primary immunodeficiency including serving as a center for the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium. We have a dedicated research team that can discuss these opportunities with you at your clinic visit.
