Our researchers are advocating for stricter regulations on energy drinks, particularly for children and teens. In a recent commentary in the Journal of Pediatrics, Drs. Victoria L. Vetter and Maryam Naim, from our Cardiac Center, call for clearer labels to keep children safe from the highly caffeinated beverages.

In 2021, CHOP established a unique affiliation with Geisinger to increase access to pediatric healthcare in central and northeast Pennsylvania communities. Through the CHOP-Geisinger Joint Collaborative, the affiliation will conduct impactful research leveraging both institutions’ diverse patient populations, geographic locations, and scientific talent. Now, we are excited to announce the Collaborative’s first research grant awarded to Vanessa Troiani, PhD, Associate Professor in Geisinger’s Autism and Developmental Medicine Institute, and our own Jakob Seidlitz, PhD, Senior Research Scientist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute. Drs. Troiani and Seidlitz will lead an innovative, first-of-its-kind project that harmonizes neuroimaging and genomic data across two health systems. Using clinical brain scans and available genomic information collected from both sites, the team will develop and study models of typical brain growth across human development from birth to age 25. “Our massive database of ‘real-world’ data, coupled with the support from both our research and clinical partners, provides a unique opportunity for creating translational technology that could improve the clinical care and management of pediatric patients,” Dr. Seidlitz said.

We have a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) Fellowship role that provides nurses the opportunity to work as a CNS on the unit as they transition to their new role. One of our current fellows, Megan notes: “The fellow role has been a unique opportunity for me to develop and advance my skills by doing while also learning advanced concepts. It has allowed for me to apply what I learn in my program right to the work I do in my role and, likewise, I can connect the experiences I have had in my fellow role to what I am learning in school." It is amazing seeing our CNS fellows grow and flourish. Happy Clinical Nurse Specialist Week!
