Georgia CTSA Clinical Research Centers Provide Critical Support for Challenge Studies Including Flu and Shigella
“Georgia CTSA Clinical Research Centers are absolutely essential to success of any NIH study, especially ones that are fairly complicated, such as the challenge study,” says Nadine Rouphael, MD, MSc, Professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Emory, and Director of the Hope Clinic, clinical arm of Emory Vaccine Center. “I think without the GCRCs’ support, we would not have been in a place where a human challenge study could be done.”
