Contract Research Organization (CRO)
To be a strategic partner in the design, implementation and management of clinical studies, ensuring scientific, ethical and regulatory rigor.
🏢 The CRO Unit aims to promote, encourage and facilitate the development of clinical research at the initiative of the researcher and industry, providing a multidisciplinary team of excellence.
💡 One of the biggest difficulties in realizing research ideas lies in the lack of knowledge of the various phases that precede the start of a study or clinical trial, as well as the complex regulations involved. Through close collaboration between professionals from different areas, 2CA-Braga offers support at every stage of a study's life cycle: from conceiving the idea and designing the protocol, to submitting the documentation to the relevant authorities, implementation, including monitoring based on good clinical practice (ICH-GCP), data management and analysis.
