Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute’s Post

Our CHOP Faculty Spotlight series is back! To kick off this monthly Q&A series, meet Jennifer Lynch, MD, PhD, a faculty member in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia’s Division of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology and a physicist specializing in biomedical optics.
