John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center

The John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC has long been the hub of pediatric research in Pittsburgh. The original building in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, dedicated in June 1990, was funded by a $15 million federal grant and a $3 million endowment contributed by Pittsburgh philanthropist John G. Rangos Sr. In October 2008, the new John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center, located on Children’s Hospital’s new 10-acre hospital campus in Lawrenceville, opened its doors to one of the fastest growing pediatric research programs in the country.
