CHOP Research

At the Cardiac Center at CHOP, we continue to research new ways to improve the lifelong health and well-being of children with CHD. Whether our physician-researchers are exploring the use of 3-D printing technology to improve surgical planning or searching for new ways to protect our cardiac patients’ brain health while they’re still in the womb, the goal of our research and innovation is always to improve patient outcomes today and advance care for the next generation of children born with heart disease.

Behind each breakthrough and every groundbreaking service we provide is the generous support of our donors. As a nonprofit organization, CHOP relies on donations to fund the medical advances that make our heart stories possible.
