The Children's Clinical and Translational Discovery Core offers support to investigators conducting basic science, epidemiologic, translational, and clinical pediatric research to promote childhood health. The use of the core is open to investigators at Emory University, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and collaborators within and outside of Emory University.  Our mission is to support and complement the research efforts of qualified investigators by providing laboratory research services and access to biological samples that represent a variety of diagnoses and healthy volunteers. 

The laboratory collaborates with other core facilities and laboratories across campus. For more information about our core services, email CCTDC@emory.edu. 

For processing, sample procurement, shipping, and resupply requests, fill out our survey.

Core News:

• Please note changes in study participant protocol. To comply with Federal policy, Emory University Finance limits study participants receiving gift cards to no more than $100 in compensation per calendar year. Additionally, participants must fill out an Information Disclosure form and provide a valid Social Security number or Taxpayer Identification number. Willing participants are able to waive compensation. Please speak to a study team member if you have any questions or concerns regarding this new directive.
• We bid farewell to Marissa Gonzalez -- her last day at the core is September 8th. She is heading off to Anesthesiology Assistant Program at South University - West Palm Beach. We will miss you!
