Our mission at TRI is to help researchers involved in clinical trials improve standard treatments and develop new diagnostic, therapeutic and preventative strategies. We do this by offering practical and experienced support for each stage of clinical research — from trial design through to data analysis.
Our vision is to improve the prognoses of those suffering intractable diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease through translating medical findings in fundamental research into medical practices and meaningful health outcomes, a practice known as translational research.
