About the Project
The objective of the General Clinical Research Center is to provide a high
quality physical and intellectual environment in which clinical
investigation is conducted with maximum regard for patient welfare and
safety. The Center complements and extends the research resources of the
College of Medicine, fosters interdisciplinary activity and serve as an
educational resource for students, house-staff and faculty. Areas of
investigation include women's health, therapy of prostate cancer, bone
loss in anorexia, cochlear implants, gene transfer in cystic fibrosis, and
homocysteine and atherosclerosis. Neonatal research includes immunologic
effects of placental blood transfusions, pharmacokinetics of
erythropoietin and the genetics of preeclampsia. The Center also supports
multicenter trials evaluating the prevention of type I diabetes,
experimental drug therapies in HIV infection, the genetics of alcoholism,
treatment of ocular melanoma and medical therapy of prostatic hypertrophy.
