The Clinical Trials Research Center, now part of the Canadian Center for Vaccinology, has been conducting clinical trials since 1992. This research is conducted by highly qualified scientists, nurses, technicians, postgraduate trainees and support staff. Together they investigate vaccines and medicines that prevent or treat specific diseases. Their goal is to provide the evidence that will lead to better health for children, adolescents and adults. You can support this valuable research by volunteering to participate.

Clinical research depends on volunteers like you!
