Accelerating the Translation of Experimental Therapies

When new treatments are designed, our researchers must demonstrate to colleagues and clinicians how the new treatment compares to standard treatment.
Clinical trials, conducted with individuals as research volunteers, are essential to the translation of experimental therapies into standards of care.
Each of our studies is designed to answer specific questions about new therapies or new ways to use standard therapies. As a leader within the research community, the FES Center continues to expand and review these human subject programs for quality, consistency, safety, and significance.
