OUR MISSION

The mission of Hope for Children Research Foundation is to support children's neurological and cancer research. The purpose of the translational research is the identification of more effective treatments and cures. Central to the mission of the Foundation are the needs of the patients and their families. In essence, the patient remains the center of our professional universe and the identification of effective treatments and cures remains our ultimate goal.

For the past 39 years we have supported the research efforts at the Colleen Giblin Research Laboratories at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City.

The Colleen Giblin Research Laboratories are committed to conducting the highest level of molecular and cellular research using the latest advances in molecular and cellular biology and genetics. The Laboratories serve as a forum where physicians and scientists from around the world can combine their efforts to study, and ultimately diagnose and treat, diseases of the developing nervous and muscular systems. Patients and their families are given the opportunity to participate in research on a cellular and clinical level so that advances can be made in understanding the etiology and clinical course of particular disease pathways. Through a combination of laboratory studies, natural history studies, and therapeutic trials, the goal of the Colleen Giblin Research Laboratories is to provide a scientific foundation for ultimately finding more effective treatments and preventive therapies for children.
