Children’s Research Institute at UT Southwestern

The Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) was established in 2011 as a joint venture built on the clinical expertise of Children’s Health System of Texas and the scientific excellence of UT Southwestern (UTSW) Medical Center. Led by Sean J. Morrison, Ph.D., the Institute is home to an interdisciplinary group of scientists and physicians who focus on translational biomedical research. CRI is addressing fundamental scientific questions about our understanding of the biological basis of disease. Through transformative biomedical research, we seek breakthroughs that will change scientific fields and yield new strategies for treating disease.
