MIT Center for Clinical and Translational Research can accommodate the full range of human subject research.
CCTR can measure numerous clinical standards of care using tools that include everything from wireless vital sign sensors to high-resolution ultrasound.
From a project’s early stages through completion, our knowledgeable team of clinicians, technicians and scientists guide you from the initial planning stages through data collection and analysis that helps researchers understand—and expand—the scope of what’s possible. We help teams see around the curves, change course when necessary, and overcome hurdles along the way safely and efficiently.
