The Child Health Institute of New Jersey (CHINJ) was
established in 1998 by the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School
with the mission to advance basic science knowledge of vertebrate development
and growth and mechanisms of human diseases. The CHINJ is part of a larger
biomedical research program that includes the neighboring Bristol-Myers Squibb
Children's Hospital, Cancer Institute of New
Jersey, Cardiovascular Institute
of New Jersey, and Stem Cell Institute of New Jersey. Completed in September
2005, the CHINJ building is located on the New Brunswick Campus and includes 40,000 square
feet of open laboratory design and office space and a 25,000-square-foot mouse
barrier facility. In addition to core laboratories for mouse gene targeting and
transgenesis, histology/pathology, imaging, and microarray analysis, the institute is in the process of recruiting world-class investigators who will be
studying basic and translational aspects of childhood diseases including
immunity, autoimmunity and inflammation, hematopoiesis and stem cells,
infectious diseases, and cancer.
