In conjunction with research senior leadership, leads the operation, identification, growth, and development of the physical infrastructure required to support Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute.

Dr. Edgar has more than 25 years of experience using non-invasive imaging to study brain function and structure in psychiatric and neurological patient populations. His most recent research focuses on studying brain structure and function maturation processes.

Dr. Edwards' focus is on unraveling mechanisms of right ventricular heart failure. To this end, he employs multi-omics approaches to human-derived biospecimens for target discovery and in vitro cardiomyocyte and in vivo mouse models for mechanistic validation and investigation.

Dr. Eichenwald's research interests include clinical trials and quality improvement in neonatal-perinatal medicine. He has extensive experience in the conduct of multicenter clinical trials, having served as a site principal investigator for several funded, multicenter randomized trials of interventions aimed at improving outcomes of premature newborns.

Dr. Eiraldi's research focuses on the implementation of evidence-based interventions for the prevention and treatment of externalizing and internalizing mental health disorders in school children.

Dr. Eisch is a neuroscientist interested in how molecular, cellular, and circuit changes—particularly in the limbic system—influence motivated behavior and cognition. She is specifically interested in how neuroplasticity in the hippocampal dentate gyrus contributes to both normal and pathological function with relevance to depression and addiction.

Dr. Eisenlohr studies the fundamental aspects of host defense, primarily against virus infections such as influenza and HIV.

Dr. Elsingergy is a research assistant with a focus on Genitourinary Imaging.

Dr. Emanuel investigates diseases caused by abnormalities of human chromosome 22. These include the most common microdeletion syndrome, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and the most common recurrent constitutional translocation in humans, the t(11;22). Her efforts include discerning the mechanisms involved in generating the deletion and translocation as well as looking for modifiers of the phenotype in individuals with the deletion syndrome.

Dr. Escobar is an attending radiologist within the Divisions of Interventional Radiology and Body Imaging with a research interest in interventional radiology.
