Company Profile

Company Overview

Akron Children's Rebecca D. Considine Research Institute serves as a catalyst to energize research and innovation at northeast Ohio’s largest pediatric healthcare provider. With nearly 800 research studies being conducted by over 200 investigators in more than 50 departments and specialties, research is part of the fabric of the culture at Akron Children's.

The Research Institute is home to a number of novel, multidisciplinary endeavors not often found in hospital research centers, as well as specialized centers of research dedicated to population and health care services, brain, mitochondrial and muscle health and vision sciences. Through our centers of research, we are building on an established foundation of pediatric research to develop a more cohesive research community where scientists and clinicians can partner, share ideas and benefit from the strength and synergy of the group.
