The HRU has over 15 years experience in co-ordinating clinical trials using both paraffin and GMA techniques. These studies have included single-centred studies and multi-centred studies in the UK, Europe and USA, some with over 100 subjects.
The facilities within the HRU are at audit standard and the staff are all trained in GCP and are familiar with working according to GLP guidelines. We can offer a complete service including an academic input into protocol design, preparation of operating procedures and training of clinical centres on sample handling.
