As home to the largest pediatric clinical pharmacology program in North America, Children's Mercy has led the study of how medicines work in children for more than a decade.

Children's Mercy is integrating research with treatment by creating translational teams. The program pairs clinicians who identify clinically significant medication-related problems with basic science faculty members who have the expertise necessary to develop solutions to those problems.

More than 200 scientists and clinicians from around the world attended the first Pediatric Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine Conference, hosted by Children's Mercy in April 2010. Experts from academia, government and the private sectors in the U.S., Canada and Japan exchanged knowledge centering on clinical applications, bioethics and development of pediatric personalized medicine programs.
