Welcome to the Clinical Research Center of the University of Rochester Medical Center. We are located in the University of Rochester Medical Center’s G-5000 unit (ground floor) at 601 Elmwood Avenue, Rochester, New York. This specialized unit is funded by the National Center of Research Resources within the National Institutes of Health by a grant to the University ( CTSA Grant No. UL1 RR 024160) to support clinical studies. The CRC is a center that provides an optimal setting for medical investigators to conduct safe, controlled, inpatient and outpatient studies of both children and adults. Since 1960, our CRC has been funded to provide the necessary infrastructure for investigators to conduct research studies.
Led by the Program Director, John E. Gerich MD and the Principal Investigator, David S. Guzick MD; the CRC facilities provide the environment and resources for medical research.
The CRC’s resources include highly trained research personnel in multiple areas: Administration, Core Laboratory, Biostatistics, Informatics, Nursing, Bionutrition, and Research Subject Advocates. The CRC team helps investigators facilitate the day-to-day research process and assists the research subjects in a supportive and efficient environment.
The Clinical Research Center is available for faculty investigators, their staff, and medical students working in the URMC setting. In addition, drug company-sponsored clinical trials can be conducted on this unit. Research techniques and experiences, collaboration between investigators, individual growth for investigators and research, and patient care and safety will all be enriched by utilizing the CRC. We are pleased to be available to assist your research team. Medical knowledge continues to grow – let us be a part of your experience.
