CHOP, Penn Researchers: CRISPR Screening Reveals Signaling Protein with Key Role in Regulating Hemoglobin in Red Blood Cells

A new study from a team of researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing (Penn Nursing) found that in the previous three months, about half of parents talked on a cellphone while driving when their children between the ages of 4 and 10 were in the car, while 1 in 3 read text messages and 1 in 7 used social media.

A multi-hospital collaboration led by researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has found a simple method of determining which premature infants should be screened for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

A scientist in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's (CHOP) Department of Biomedical and Health Informatics (DBHi) and the Raymond G. Perelman Center for Cellular and Molecular Therapeutics developed a new software tool that rapidly extracts phenotype information from electronic health records (EHRs) to facilitate genetic diagnoses.
