Corporate PartnershipsCGS scientists and clinicians are eager to partner with industrial colleagues at all levels of research and development to ensure that scientific discoveries get turned into better patient care and technical advances provide new tools for inquiry.
If you are in industry and are looking for an experienced academic partner, CGS scientists and physicians have extensive expertise in the design and development of multi-site clinical trials, the submission of IRB and IACUC protocols, and the generation and analysis of data. CGS employs a full-time senior systems analyst who continually updates and maintains our multiplatform, multi-site relational database. Ongoing upgrades to this system will permit web-based querying, thereby permitting partners with approved access to directly follow specimens tracking, testing and resulting.
