Research

Fellows have access to cutting edge clinical trials. Riley Hospital for Children is the only Children’s Oncology Group (COG) center in Indiana that is part of the Phase 1 and Pilot Consortium. Faculty are also members of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium, National Experimental Therapeutics Consortium, the NEXT Consortium and the BMT Clinical Trials Network (BMT-CTN), allowing for early access to clinical trials and newly developed therapeutics. The division is affiliated with the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, an NCI-designated cancer center which offers clinical trials to young adults through the National Clinical Trials Network.

Basic and translational research within the division is conducted in the Herman B Wells Center for Pediatric Research and the Health Information and Translational Sciences group. The research programs range from studies of fundamental biologic principles utilizing the most sophisticated molecular biologic techniques to evaluations of new therapeutic strategies, as well as community engagement.

Our fellows have the opportunity to spend time in their second and third year working on bench, translational or clinical research within our division, though many have completed scholarly projects in disciplines that intersect with pediatric hematology-oncology, like palliative care, bioethics, spirituality in medicine, bioinformatics and medical education.
