The Department of Pediatrics at IUSM/Riley Hospital for Children is a 400+-member faculty that consistently ranks within the top 10 pediatric departments in NIH-funded research in the United States (Peds 2023 #7 among all medical schools and #3 among all public institutions). The campus includes state-of-the-art laboratories in a dedicated pediatric research building, a comprehensive clinical research center, and a well-functioning biobank that all support research in the Department. Our nationally recognized Division of Children’s Health Services Research and the Indiana Clinical Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) are available for collaboration and as a resource. The Department also has robust research relationships with the Regenstrief Institute in Health Informatics, Purdue Biomedical Engineering and Cook Biomedical in pediatric biodevices, and the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute in developing and testing orphan drug therapeutics.

Nearly 90 percent of all Indiana children diagnosed with cancer are treated at Riley Hospital for Children, which is also home to a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center, Pediatric Burn Unit, Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation Program, and Pediatric Dialysis Program. A recently completed Maternity Tower within Riley Hospital allows both a unique opportunity for integrated care of mothers and babies in a common setting and also has provided opportunities for co-development of educational opportunities between maternal fetal medicine and pediatric subspecialists.
