	The mission of Nemours Biomedical Research is to contribute to the body of health care knowledge that supports the medical and surgical staff in restoring and improving the health of acutely and chronically ill children. Through these contributions, Nemours hopes to advance disease prevention, medical diagnosis of childhood diseases, subsequent treatment modalities, and finally, measurements of the healing effectiveness of these efforts.
	
	Nemours, which owns and operates the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, has a long-standing commitment to scholarly and scientific endeavors directed towards improving the health of children. Nemours Biomedical Research, under the direction of Vicky L. Funanage, Ph.D., is a foundation-wide endeavor, spanning all operating divisions of Nemours.
