Clinical trials support unit (CTSU)

The CTSU is responsible for the operational management of the clinical studies promoted by the Institut Bordet. It can also provide its services to external promoters, both academic and private (such as pharmaceutical or biotechnology firms).

The CTSU works in close collaboration with the Institut’s medical and scientific team and offers a professional operational structure to support scientific creativity.

The unit provides research support in the following fields:

• project management
• data management
• regulatory matters
• drug safety
• quality management
• monitoring
• translational research
• medical imaging data management via the ORILaB platform

The CTSU regularly organises internal training and seminars on the management of clinical studies, including Good Clinical Practice. This training is designed for those involved in research projects, including research physicians wishing to develop their clinical study conduct skills.

The CTSU also welcomes trainees wishing to gain experience and specific skills in the management of clinical studies: project management, monitoring, regulatory matters and all other activities carried out by the CTSU. These placements allow trainees to familiarise themselves with the conduct of high-level clinical studies in an academic environment.
