The UCD Cancer Trials Cluster is involved in many types of research We have managed and facilitated clinical trials, translational research, allied health research, as well as observational studies.
We view observational studies and translational pre-clinical studies as important mechanisms in the development of novel interventions. As such, we welcome research collaborations in all areas of cancer research, both oncological and haematological.
Additionally, we support both industry sponsored studies and investigator led studies across our collaborative sites of UCD, St Vincent's University Hospital, and the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital. We aim to expand our portfolio of investigator studies, as such, we are keen to collaborate on Investigator Initiated Trials and allied-health interventional studies.
For some studies, we may provide support to the researcher in conducting the study. Examples include:
