CHOP-Case-Study-Graebel

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Research Institute is well known for its work related to pediatric diseases. When the organization moved into a new facility, Dr. Douglas C. Wallace, from the University of California-Irvine, was recruited to establish CHOP’s Center for Mitochondrial and Epigenomic Medicine at the facility. Dr. Wallace’s experience with Graebel on a previous relocation project gave him confidence that we could seamlessly transfer his lab.
