    The vascular anomalies team is doing research on the causes of and potential cures for infantile hemangiomas. The research and work of our team has given several important clues to help us understand what causes infantile hemangiomas. We also have important new tools for diagnosing them.
    We use knowledge gained in the laboratory to care for infants with hemangiomas.
