We are delighted to welcome you to the website of the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the Kepler University Hospital. Our Department is dedicated to providing the highest level of medical care and support for children and adolescents. Our experienced and specialised team of doctors, nurses, and therapists work hand in hand to offer our young patients comprehensive and holistic care.

Paediatrics is a field of medicine that offers unparalleled breadth, covering care from infancy to adolescence and encompassing all specialised disciplines with their various facets. Our patient care is carried out in cooperation with the Departments of Neonatology, Paediatric Cardiology, Radiology, Anaesthesiology, and others.

A key focus of our Department is scientific research. Our researchers are continuously working to gain new insights in paediatric and adolescent medicine and to develop innovative treatment methods. This enables us to continually improve the quality of our medical care and to integrate the latest scientific advancements directly into clinical practice.

Our research focuses include:

• Endocrinology and Osteology: We investigate hormone disorders and bone diseases in children to develop new diagnostic and treatment methods.
• Rare Diseases: By studying the genetic foundations and mechanisms of rare diseases, we aim to develop targeted diagnostic and therapeutic options.
• Neuropaediatrics: We research the causes and treatment options for neurological diseases in children to ensure they achieve the best possible development and quality of life.

In addition to clinical research, we are deeply committed to the education and support of young scientists. We offer extensive opportunities for training and networking to support the next generation of paediatric and adolescent medicine professionals.

Our mission is to sustainably improve the health and well-being of children and adolescents through innovative research and excellent clinical practice. Together, we strive to provide our young patients with the best possible medical care.
