CDH International and the NICHD Kid's First Database

From the Kid’s First DRC:

Each month, join the Kids First Data Resource Center (DRC) as we highlight investigators and researchers from the structural birth defect and pediatric cancer communities who are contributing data and expertise in support of the Kids First DRC.

Our first spotlight is Dr. Wendy Chung of the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC). To learn more about Dr. Chung’s research, visit https://commonfund.nih.gov/kidsfirst/X01Projects#Chung

CDH International is proud to be a part of this incredible collaboration. Our President, Dawn Ireland, is a patient advocate on the committee for structural birth defects and Dr. Chung is one of our Medical Advisory Board Members. Both are great voices for CDH at the government level.
