The Child Health Institute of New Jersey (CHINJ) was
established in 1998 by the UMDNJ-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 at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, PSE&G
Children's Specialized Hospital, The Cancer Institute of New Jersey, and the
soon-to-be-established Cardiovascular 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,
imaging, and flow cytometry. The institute has initiated research programs in
basic and translational research in childhood diseases and is recruiting
world-class investigators in the areas of immunity, autoimmunity and inflammation,
autism and neurodevelopment, pediatric cancers and stem cells, and obesity,
metabolism, and genetics.
