UConn Health is a hub for groundbreaking medical research, with the Lowell P. Weicker Jr. Clinical Research Center at the forefront of medical discovery. The entrance to the center is a testament to the pioneering spirit of clinical trials, with one of the earliest recorded instances dating back to May 20, 1747, credited to Scottish physician James Lind. Lind, a ship’s surgeon in the British Royal Navy, randomized sailors into groups to compare the effects of different treatments for scurvy.
Fast forward 377 years and UConn Health continues this tradition of pioneering clinical trials. With dozens of trials currently underway at the Clinical Research Center, it is clear that UConn Health is at the forefront of medical research. The number of active trials changes regularly as new studies open and others close. Interested parties can visit the CRC’s website for a current listing of research being conducted at the center.
In addition to these ongoing trials, UConn Health offers a searchable page for information about other research studies. This dedication to research and innovation highlights UConn Health’s commitment to advancing medical knowledge and improving patient outcomes. Whether you are looking to participate in a clinical trial or simply want to learn more about ongoing research in your area, UConn Health is an excellent resource for all things medical research-related.
