Research Cluster - Departmental Activities |
The research cluster comprises activities that go beyond the mandate of the service units because they are neither externally funded nor do they adhere to regulatory requirements, but rather support exploratory purposes. These projects are carried out by the staff of the service units and/or students and comprise research studies, investigator driven clinical trials and capacity building projects.
One example is the continued effort in the framework of the alliance for clinical research and clinical epidemiology in the Democratic Republic of Congo (see also www.ARCEAU-RDC.org), which simultaneously marks the strategic inclusion of clinical research on non-communicable diseases in resource limited countries into our portfolio.
