Episode Description

Welcome to the Heart of the Matter: Cardiology Conversations at CHOP. In this podcast, made by and for the Cardiac Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, we interview members of our community about our history, innovative research, clinical programs and advocacy within our institution.

In this episode of Heart of the Matter: Cardiology Conversations at CHOP, Meryl Cohen speaks with three Cardiac Center researchers, Amy Jo Lisanti, Laura Mercer‑Rosa, and Michael O’Byrne, about their paths into research and their work driving innovation. They discuss diverse research programs spanning family‑centered and developmental care, multicenter registries addressing complex congenital heart disease, and the importance of mentorship and persistence. The conversation highlights the role of research improving patient and family outcomes and what makes CHOP a uniquely supportive environment for patient‑centered research.
