The mission the Translational Informatics Research and Innovation (TIRI) Lab is to understand and create advanced technology and digital device solutions that address challenges to the translation of biomedical data science-informed guidance into clinical use to improve the health of individuals, especially for people that are often underrepresented in research.

The Drug Development Unit (DDU) provides clinical research services and support to the faculty of the School of Medicine and to pharmaceutical sponsors. Our team of experienced investigators, nurses, and clinical research staff promote excellence in clinical trial operations. A wide range of services are available, from protocol design and clinical and laboratory support and data analysis, to administrative services including clinical trial agreement negotiation as well as IND and project management.
