The Isabel Davis Center for Safe Children carries out multiple research projects aimed at understanding the root causes that lead to sudden and unexplained deaths in the young. By combining expertise across a number of fields, the center has developed a novel discovery pipeline to ultimately clear a path to one day identify at risk infants and children and providing therapies to keep them safe.
Our discovery pipeline, led by Drs. Ray and Lusk, incorporates information from epidemiological, genetic, and other studies to design experiments in the lab that inform upon the different drivers of SIDS. This work is made possible using advanced robotics, information technologies, and artificial intelligence that have been developed within the center.
