This work is focused on finding better treatments for a variety of common chronic illnesses and challenging issues that affect many people in Michigan.
Pharma-sponsored clinical trials
Pharma-sponsored clinical trials play a crucial role in advancing medical research and improving patient care. CMU College of Medicine has developed an infrastructure that supports a variety of pharma-sponsored clinical trials from novel experimental therapeutic modalities to devices and technology.
Investigated initiated clinical research
Investigator-initiated clinical research (IICR) is vital for advancing medical knowledge, addressing unmet medical needs, enhancing clinical practice, and contributing to the education and professional development of faculty, student and resident researchers. CMU College of Medicine in collaboration with its partnering hospital systems has developed a wide range of IICR opportunities around maternal and infant health, cardiovascular, vaccines, pediatric and rare diseases research areas.
