New €7 million research centre aims to strengthen Poland's position in a global race for clinical trials increasingly dominated by the United States and China
Poland has opened a new university clinical trial support centre in Warsaw as the country seeks to attract more international research projects at a time when Europe is steadily losing ground in the global clinical trials market.
The University Clinical Trials Support Centre at the Medical University of Warsaw received around €7 million in public funding and is expected to streamline the organisation of clinical research by supporting investigators, sponsors and patients throughout the entire trial process.
“Launching the University Clinical Trials Support Centre sends an important signal to the entire market,” Michał Byliniak, director general of INFARMA, the Polish association of innovative pharmaceutical companies, told Euractiv.
“Such centres professionalise the conduct of clinical trials, improve cooperation between sponsors, investigators and patients, and strengthen Poland’s ability to attract advanced research projects.”
