The department Clinical Operations, responsible for GCP studies with medicinal products and medical devices, has developed a three-step plan to expand our network of external study centers to up to 80 units. Today we would like to report on the current status of the expansion.

In addition to single-center studies conducted at our own facility, we offer multi-center studies in cooperation with a network of qualified testing centers when the specifications of the study or the objective make this necessary.
