Mission
Our mission at The University of Texas at Tyler Center for Clinical Research is to provide high-quality, cost-effective clinical research services to our patients so that tomorrow’s medicine can reach our patients as soon as possible.
History
Since the Center for Clinical Research was developed in 1998, groundbreaking medical research and clinical trials have resulted in successful new drugs, new devices and new protocols for treating patients in a variety of medical disciplines.
Our research involves human participants and their data, which is kept strictly confidential in line with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) regulations. Known for more lung-related clinical research than anywhere else in the nation, The University of Texas at Tyler Health Science Center currently conducts robust clinical trials in several medical disciplines with planned expansion into others. The Center for Clinical Research has extended cutting-edge treatments to participants in Northeast Texas that resulted in groundbreaking research to improve the quality of care.
Goals
Our well-established, broad-based, multidisciplinary clinical research involves new drugs, devices and therapies led by our physician-scientists. Through our clinical research studies and trials, our research participants help us improve the quality of healthcare now and for generations to come. Fighting diseases and restoring patients to healthy living are our primary goals.
