The Yale Center for Children's Surgical Research (YCCSR) promotes high quality, pediatric surgical research through it's commitment to clinical research, basic laboratory science and surgical education.
Mission
The Yale Center for Children's Surgical Research (YCCSR) is an initiative created through the collective expertise of pediatric surgeons, basic scientists, research fellows, and epidemiologists to address the unique challenges of children's surgical research. We strive to improve the lives of children with surgical disorders through advancements in the laboratory, through the promotion of evidence-based clinical research, and through education to support innovative and critical thinking in Pediatric Surgery.
All YCCSR research projects are conducted by Center staff and associates and are housed within one of its three main divisions: Clinical Research, Bench Research, and Medical Education.
