Research
The Pediatric Research Institute at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center operates to improve and assure the health and safety of children in the greater St. Louis area. By promoting research that advances the knowledge and management of childhood health and diseases, a number of nationally known physician-scientists from the Saint Louis University School of Medicine conduct research that can be applied to the clinical setting to improve disease prevention and treatment. Ongoing programs include the study of pediatric infections and vaccine development, cardiac transplant rejection, liver diseases (particularly related to alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and abnormal iron metabolism), metabolic diseases (Morquio Syndrome) and neonatal lung inflammation.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” [Was will das Weib?]”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
