Mission and Culture
Who we are and what we do
The Wolfe Lab is composed of six physician / interprofessional PI’s with varying expertise, backgrounds, and research interests. As a whole, our lab aims to improve wellbeing for seriously ill pediatric patients and their families. We focus on identifying and measuring developmentally appropriate outcomes for patients and their families. We then systematically develop and rigorously evaluate interventions aimed at improving these outcomes. Our research seeks to impact care throughout the illness trajectory from diagnosis, advanced illness, end-of-life, and bereavement, and across all ages from perinatal through young adults. Key interventions currently under development and evaluation include impact of interprofessional care in the early diagnostic period, advance care planning and decision-making support for parents, adolescents, and young adults, and impact of subspecialty palliative care interventions in childhood advanced cancers.
Diversity is essential in science and medicine
We, the members of the Wolfe Lab, want to make the following statement concerning equality in the workplace. Our lab celebrates diversity, and we recognize that our team only stands to gain from including members with different backgrounds, ways of life, experiences and opinions. We hold ourselves accountable for treating each other fairly and equally to create the best environment possible to succeed with our goals as researchers and individuals.
