To remain competitive in today’s computing landscape, Pitt Pediatrics has a dedicated academic information technology and desktop support team.

We have begun to invest in resources specific to the complex statistical and storage landscape of research, including the deployment of the University’s physical cyberinfrastructure to the John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center.  With this collaboration, our researchers can utilize the latest generation of scientific equipment and technologies to acquire, store, analyze and share data with their colleagues both locally and around the world.
