At Rober t Wood Johnson Medical School we are committed to the young. The CHILD HEALTH INSTITUTE will break ground soon. The research focus will be in developmental biology with par ticular emphasis on genetics, cell differentiation, brain and behavior. The broad scope of the institute will be to integrate with other medical school institutes and develop an international center with emphasis on disease treatment and prevention. And there is more. The construction of a new Children’s Hospital by Rober t Wood Johnson University Hospital is in progress.
