The UNC Anesthesiology Clinical Trials Research Team specializes in conduct of clinical studies involving medications or devices. Their facilities at the hospital of UNC Health Care and the Adams School of Dentistry allow them to attract a diverse patient population and perform enrollment and study tasks in a regulated clinical research space. This group works with Department of Anesthesiology faculty to manage and conduct both industry-sponsored clinical trials and investigator-initiated studies. Their team of professionals includes three full-time research coordinators as well as regulatory and other support staff. Individual faculty studies performed in collaboration with the clinical trials team are described below.
