The John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC has long been the hub of pediatric research in Pittsburgh. 

The 300,000-square-foot home for Children’s research is designed around the concept of the open laboratory. The flexible central lab space encourages interaction and the sharing of equipment. Laboratory desks and offices are adjacent to windows ensuring extensive natural light. The space accommodates 70 principal investigators and supports biomedical research, including genomics, cellular imaging, signal transduction, structural biology, immunology and neuro-science, among other fields.
