Seattle Children’s Research Institute

Seattle Children’s Research Institute (SCRI) makes breakthrough discoveries that help prevent, treat, and eliminate childhood disease. As one of the nation’s top five pediatric research centers, SCRI is dedicated to providing hope, care, and cures to help every child live the healthiest and most fulfilling life possible.

Seattle Children’s Research Institute is organized into research centers, each one specializing in areas like immunotherapy, neuroscience and child health and behavior.

SCRI Resources

Clinical Research Cores: Core and services to support clinical research are provided by the Research Integration Hub. Learn more here.

Shared Research Resources (SRR) are institutionally supported core resources and facilities that enable efficient and equitable access to state-of-the-art scientific equipment and expertise to advance collaborative, cutting-edge pediatric research.

The SRR Steering Committee has been formed to provide scientific leadership and guidance for the development, governance and operation of core scientific resources at SCRI. SRR Steering Committee members include representatives from the basic science centers, as well as administrative leadership.The SRR Newsletter provides information about SRR news and events on a monthly basis. For more information please contact SRR@seattlechildrens.org.

Center- and Department-based Cores

The Shared SCRI Equipment Catalog is a comprehensive database that was assembled to provide details of shared laboratory equipment that can be available to SCRI scientists. Distinct from equipment operated in the Shared Research Resources and Center-based cores, this catalog provides details for each equipment, such as location, contact person, vendor, and scientific application. The equipment is categorized by location and usage area, such as histopathology, imaging, or genomics. Users are encouraged to contribute by adding new equipment to the list, fostering a collaborative and efficient research environment.

The iLab System is a web-based software tool supporting operations for research cores, services and shared resource resources.
