Center for Clinical Research
The Texas Heart Institute at Baylor College of Medicine’s Center for Clinical Research supports all areas of cardiovascular clinical research, from protocol development to trial facilitation and post-trial assessment and reporting.
Our team of experts supports clinical research management activities for all THI research departments, in addition to outsourced clinical research management activities for private practice and academic clinicians.
The clinical research underway at THI is vital to advance the science of medicine and to generate knowledge and discoveries that translate to the development of new medicines and therapies for cardiovascular disease. Through clinical research and patients who volunteer to participate in them, we gain answers to important questions about the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of medical conditions.
THI’s clinical research teams include renowned physician researchers, scientists and engineers who are working tirelessly to develop, and safely test more effective and less invasive treatments.
