The Program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine (PCMM), is a research program at Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) recognized worldwide for its discoveries that increase the body's ability to fight disease and to heal. The breakthroughs of PCMM scientists are greatly increasing our understanding of the influence of immune defense and inflammation on medical discovery, healthcare, and disease management. PCMM officially joined seven other interdisciplinary programs at Boston Children's Hospital in October 2012 with the goal of increasing collaborations and scientific synergies. Our investigators are academically affiliated with Harvard Medical School.
We pursue six (at least) primary areas of research:
- Adhesion molecules and inflammation
- Autoimmunity and allergy
- Genetics of immunodeficiency and cancer
- Immune defenses against infectious diseases, viruses, and tumors
- Stem Cells
- Structural Biology
