A gift from the Wyss Foundation elevates CHOP's research in thoracic insufficiency syndrome, a rare and complex condition.

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is thrilled to announce a gift of $5 million from the Wyss Foundation to support innovations that improve the lives of patients with thoracic insufficiency syndrome (TIS).

More than 100 people gathered at the Philadelphia Zoo on May 20 to celebrate patient milestones at the Wyss/Campbell Center for Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome.

Two recent papers from the Wyss/Campbell Center for Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) were recognized with awards by the International Congress of Early Onset Scoliosis (ICEOS) and the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS). 

2019 was a year of great strides for the Wyss/Campbell Center for Thoracic Insufficiency. Read about new research projects and efforts to improve outcomes for children with chest wall/pulmonary and spinal deformities.

Longtime friends worked together to create an innovative device. Now, one is honoring the other’s legacy.

The Wyss Medical Foundation gifted CHOP $5 million to support thoracic insufficiency syndrome (TIS) patient care, innovative research and education at CHOP.

Using dynamic MRI to accurately assess function and a novel treatment approach can dramatically change clinical outcomes in patients with complex chronic disease and can alter expectations and disease progression.

A revolutionary technique called dynamic lung MRI (dMRI) allows clinicians to visualize the lungs as they move inside the body.

Dr. Campbell's innovative thought-leadership and inventions changed the world’s approach to caring for children with complex and life-threatening spine and chest wall deformities. Join us in honoring his remarkable career.
