Our Mission
We create optimal conditions for methodologically sound and patient-relevant research. In doing so, we combine the highest scientific and ethical standards with operational feasibility and economic viability.
By offering transparent and service-oriented support, we make academic clinical research at the University of Basel and its affiliated hospitals visible, reproducible and effective for society.
Our Vision
We are primary contact for researchers at the University of Basel and its affiliated hospitals for implementing clinical research projects. We are dedicated to generating evidence that leads to better decision-making in healthcare.
