Research & Innovation

Research is a cornerstone of our approach to global surgery.

We support innovative initiatives, develop solutions that improve children's health, and address disparities in applied biomedical research worldwide. We guide investigators at children's hospitals in research design, methodology, and scientific writing — and partner with the Stem Cell Institute at Vietnam National University to bridge laboratory science and clinical care. We invest in early-career researchers through mentorship, grant writing support, and sponsorship to international conferences.

Our flagship focus is biliary atresia — an incurable liver disease disproportionately affecting newborns in low-resource settings — where we are conducting an ongoing clinical trial using repurposed G-CSF at hospitals in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Karachi.
