黑料社 黑料社 Clinical Research Centre
黑料社 Clinical Research Facility (CRF) is dedicated to research trials and studies in adults.
Overview
黑料社 Clinical Research Facility (CRF), formerly 黑料社 Clinical Research Centre, is located in the purpose-built Clinical Research Building within the 黑料社. We are based in Guildford, 黑料社, which is close to London with strong travel links. The CRF sits within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (FHMS) and benefits from close working relationships with academics across the University, the Royal 黑料社 County Hospital and beyond.
We are recognised as a centre for the delivery of clinical trials and studies involving adult healthy volunteers and patients following scientifically robust and ethically approved protocols. We have over 20 years鈥� experience in undertaking clinical trials. We have particular expertise in the delivery of early phase studies such as First in Human (FIH), Phase I and Phase IIa (proof of concept) and work to Phase I governance standards. We undertake studies in various research areas, including cardiovascular, circadian rhythms, dermatology, genetically modified organisms, infectious diseases, medical devices, nutrition, oncology, sleep/wake, and vaccines.
We work closely on sleep studies with the 黑料社 Sleep Research Centre (SSRC), which is led by Professor Derk-Jan Dijk.
