发展研究资源核心将由梅利莎肯普领导，她是一位系统生物学家， 格鲁吉亚理工学院生物医学工程系和儿科肝病学家Miriam Vos在 埃默里大学儿科系。肯普博士是大力神系统生物学核心的联合主任， 与埃默里大学的环境健康科学界以及生物医学界有着良好的联系。 格鲁吉亚理工学院的工程师Vos博士是营养健康研究生研究主任 科学博士课程和亚特兰大儿童保健中心的顶级临床科学家。一起吧，肯普医生 Vos博士将热情地领导发展核心。核心将举行每月粉笔 谈话系列，调查人员将与发展研究资源和其他人分享他们的想法， NEALE团队，包括各自技术转让办公室的代表。的总主题 核心是促进创造用于儿童的创新技术和方法， 环境健康研究，包括开发和验证新的生物标志物，信息学 解决方案和设备。核心将与目标研究资源，非目标研究资源密切合作。 研究资源和生物反应资源，以测试和验证新的功能，生物标志物， 测定。发展核心将侧重于以下目标：目标1。为了识别新的和 评估儿童接触和反应的创新方法。目标2.为了测试的可行性 这些新的方法，并提供严格的验证的方法，测试，或平台。目标3.到 将新的方法纳入CHEMICAL平台。发展核心将努力发展和 将最好的科学融入儿童健康研究。我们将使用一个设计Charrette模型， 在我们开发和采用新方法和技术时，收集主要利益相关者的意见。我们还将依靠 我们的咨询委员会在儿科护理和儿童健康方面拥有卓越的专业知识， 研究，以确定最有可能产生重大影响的方法和想法。上述目标将 帮助将创意转化为创意解决方案。

The Developmental Research Resource core will be led by Melissa Kemp, a systems biologist in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech, and Miriam Vos, a pediatric hepatologist, in the Department of Pediatrics at Emory. Dr. Kemp is co-director of the HERCULES Systems Biology Core and is well-connected with the environmental health science community at Emory, as well as the biomedical engineering community at Georgia Tech. Dr. Vos is Director of Graduate Studies for the Nutritional Health Sciences doctoral program and a top clinical scientist at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Together, Dr. Kemp and Dr. Vos will provide enthusiastic leadership to the Development Core. The core will hold a monthly chalk talk series where investigators will share their ideas with the Development Research Resource and the rest of NEALE team, including representatives of the respective offices of technology transfer. The overall theme of the core is to foster the creation of innovative technologies and approaches for use in children’s environmental health research, including development and validation of new biomarkers, informatic solutions, and devices. The core will work closely with the Targeted Research Resource, the Untargeted Research Resource, and the Biological Response Resource to test and validate new features, biomarkers, and assays. The Development Core will focus on the following objectives: Objective 1. To identify novel and innovative approaches to assess exposures and responses in children. Objective 2. To test the feasibility of these new approaches and provide rigorous validation of the methods, tests, or platforms. Objective 3. To incorporate new approaches into the CHEAR platform. The Development Core will strive to develop and incorporate the very best science into children’s health research. We will use a design charrette model to collect input from key stakeholders as we develop and adopt new methods and technologies. We will also rely on the input of our Advisory Board, which has exceptional expertise in pediatric care and children’s health research, in identifying approaches and ideas most likely to have a major impact. The above objectives will help move the creative ideas into creative solutions.
