THE CHILDREN’’S HEART RESEARCH AND OUTCOMES CENTER

The Children’s Heart Research and Outcomes Center (HeRO) brings together luminaries in pediatric healthcare, biomedical engineering and clinical research to develop the next generation of pediatric-specific therapies for congenital heart defects. Through intense collaboration, leaders from the Children’s Sibley Heart Center, Georgia Tech and Emory University are addressing the most prevalent pediatric condition in the country. Funds from the 2019 Party will advance two of HeRO’s cutting-edge research endeavors.

PEDIATRIC BIOLOGICAL PACEMAKER

Pacemakers are not just for aging adults, but few, if any, pediatric pacemakers exist. This presents multiple issues for the approx. 3,500 children and infants in the U.S. who receive an adult-sized heart rhythm management device each year. These devices simply are not designed to fit and function in small bodies. Motivated by this urgent need, HeRO has engineered a paradigm-changing pediatric biological pacemaker free of wires, batteries and electrical generators.

In a small-animal model, HeRO has successfully demonstrated that a single injection of a natural human gene to the heart can restore normal cardiac rhythm. With further testing and FDA approval, the hope is that one day a single injection could rebuild a child’s damaged heart tissue, negate the need for multiple surgeries, and eliminate the stress over potential device failure.

HeRO’s pediatric biological pacemaker has already won Emory University’s “Invention of the Year” Award and is closer than ever to reaching the bedside. ELC support for this project will provide critical funding for the final stage of the study before FDA submission.

STEM CELLS, BIG DATA AND PREDICTIVE MEDICINE

HeRO is driving pediatric stem cell innovation that could impact not only congenital heart disease, but also diseases like diabetes, sickle cell and Crohn’s. Of the three pediatric stem cell trials in the county, HeRO is performing two.

HeRO has pioneered a way to predict stem cell therapy outcomes through big data statistical modeling. This complex data can take immense time and resources to interpret, but the payoff could be significant: imagine being able to determine whether a stem cell will work before a child is treated with it. Now imagine pinpointing the exact genetic reason the stem cell could fail, modifying the cell and then treating the child.

The goal of this project is ambitious and transformative—predictive precision medicine. ELC funding will support hiring two trainees, costs associated with server space and usage, and supplies for confirmation tests.
