Clinical Research
At Imagine, we want to make sure our research results are transformed into medical solutions to benefit patients. We take part in clinical research projects to confirm the value of new approaches in human trials.
These projects deepen our understanding of diseases, test new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and are a required stage in drug development before requesting approval to market the drug and make it available for patients. Imagine Institute’s teams are currently involved in more than 500 clinical trials.
