“Research Methods in Pediatric Cardiology”, continuously funded by NIH since 1984, is the BCH Department of Cardiology’s research training program. The program’s goal is to train the next generation of researchers in Pediatric Cardiology and its allied fields of cardiac and vascular biology. It supports training of postdoctoral (MD, PhD, and MD PhD) fellows and spans the breadth of basic, translational, and clinical research in vascular biology and cardiac biology. Based at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, the program’s faculty includes leaders in these fields, including: William Pu; Jane Newburger, Jon and Christine Seidman; Rob Gerszten; Anthony Rosenzweig, Calum MacRae, Timothy Hla, Joyce Bischoff, Geoff and Caroline Burns, Da-Zhi Wang, Kaifu Chen, Kit Parker, Lynn Sleeper, and Sarah de Ferranti.

The program is committed to developing the next generation of researchers in cardiovascular biology. It is committed to a diverse biomedical workforce, including groups traditionally under-represented in biomedical research.
