Staff of The Manton Center with representatives of The Manton FoundationCurrent orphan disease studies at Boston Children's Hospital go well beyond US borders. The Manton Center's Core Faculty currently conducts research that involves patients and scientific collaborators from 38 other nations around the globe. In Children's laboratories and clinics, the world's most talented and creative doctors and researchers combine their individual and collective expertise to pinpoint the genetic underpinnings of orphan diseases. These scientists are working to uncover exactly how disease processes work and how they can be interrupted or stopped.
