CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER (CRC)
The ITM’s Clinical Research Center (CRC) is your one-stop-shop for doing your study – at a fraction of the cost
of doing it elsewhere.
WELCOME TO YOUR ALL-IN-ONE RESEARCH HUB
The CRC offers expert research nursing support to do the work, a lab for fast specimen processing, specialized imaging
equipment and other tools, as well as a metabolic kitchen that can whip up meals measured down to the required calorie
or carbohydrate for your participants. It has served university and industry-sponsored clinical trials for nearly 60 years,
and our staff is available to discuss your project at any time.
