STaRC - The Study Trial and Research Centre

Scientific findings on the cause, diagnosis, therapy and prevention of diseases like cancer increase rapidly today. New insights arising from basic research - especially molecular biology and genetics - and clinical trials combined with the advances in information technology provide the medical and scientific community with the opportunity to merge clinical data with biomolecular findings and imaging studies of individual patients.

STaRC – the Study, Trial and Research Centre is an innovative service centre to exploit new results in clinical and basic research in combination with today's possibilities in information technology to enable a new generation of clinical studies which will pave the way for personalized medicine.

STaRC unifies European experts of different fields (clinicians, biologists, IT-specialists, ethical and legal experts) dedicated to develop and exploit structures and tools that help to run more clinical trials and to support translational research in all aspects. This new approach will fundamentally broaden our understanding of disease and therapies and will enable a new generation of clinical studies resulting in improved prognosis of patients by individualizing treatment and going a step further towards personalized medicine.
