Exciting research is underway at the Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center! 🔬

Aline Andres, Ph.D., R.D., and her team are partnering with Sina Gallo, Ph.D., at the University of Georgia to study the role of vitamin D in high-risk pregnancies.

Vitamin D is known to be integral to bone development and may be especially important during pregnancy. However, there is currently no pregnancy-specific guidance for vitamin D.

This two-year project will explore how maternal vitamin D levels impact bone health outcomes for babies, helping advance evidence-based recommendations and improve care for mothers and babies alike.

Exciting news! 🧬 Arkansas Children’s has reached major milestones in expanding access to cell and gene therapies for sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia, genetic blood disorders that affect how the body makes hemoglobin.

Our team is now a fully qualified treatment center for all FDA-approved gene therapies for these conditions, with plans underway this year for our first infusion for a patient with thalassemia.

We’re also enrolled in the CMS Cell and Gene Therapy Access Model for sickle cell disease, helping ensure children in Arkansas can access these therapies close to home. This work reflects our dedicated teamwork and continued commitment to advancing expert care for children.

A major milestone is now standing tall at Arkansas Children’s as we officially topped out the National Center for Opioid Research & Clinical Effectiveness (NCOR), a first-of-its-kind center in Arkansas and nationwide.

This 65,000-square-foot facility in Little Rock will focus on understanding how the opioid crisis affects fetuses, newborns, children, adolescents, and pregnant and parenting individuals. Led by director Alicia Allen, Ph.D., M.P.H., NCOR will advance research, develop treatment programs, strengthen prevention efforts, and deepen community outreach and engagement, helping change the trajectory of the opioid crisis and save children’s lives.
