The PPD PIN currently includes Columbia University, New York; LSU Health Shreveport; National Children’s Research Centre at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin, Ireland; National Institute for Health Research/Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility at Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom; NHS Research Scotland; Seattle Children’s Research Institute; Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel; and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Pediatrics. The company plans to continue to expand this network by selecting and partnering with other centers of excellence worldwide that align with particular pediatric populations and research needs.
