The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute announced it launched the CHOP Cardiovascular Institute, which is to be led by Daniel P. Kelly, MD, director of the University of Pennsylvania Cardiovascular Institute.
The CHOP Cardiovascular Institute will develop novel research programs partner with existing programs at Penn CVI to improve pediatric cardiovascular care, according to a press release.
“It is a privilege to lead this new institute, which will bring together top researchers from Penn and CHOP to solve some of pediatric cardiology’s greatest challenges,” Kelly said in the release. “Channeling the expertise of these top basic and translational scientists, we will drive cardiovascular research forward to improve our understanding and treatment of pediatric cardiovascular disease.”
At CHOP, Kelly will hold the inaugural CHOP Presidential Chair and have a secondary appointment as professor of pediatrics, alongside a continued leadership role at the Penn CVI. Kelly assumed the role with the CHOP CVI on April 1, 2022.
Kelly led the Penn CVI since 2017; was previously the founding scientific director for the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in Florida; and prior to that was professor of medicine and pediatrics, chief of the cardiovascular division and founding director of the center for cardiovascular research at Washington University School of Medicine.
