Title
UNMC Establishes State-of-the-Art Clinical Research Unit at the Global Center for Health Security
Description
The new Clinical Research Unit (CRU) boasts negative pressure exam rooms, a pharmacy, a lab, and separate "hot" and "cold" zones that give UNMC and Nebraska Medicine the infrastructure necessary to serve as a host site in a national clinical trial to test an investigational COVID-19 vaccine. Christopher Kratochvil, MD, executive director of clinical research at the Global Center for Health Security, Major Tiffany Welsh, UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey Gold, MD, and Matthew Lunning, DO, medical director at the CRU, cut the ribbon to open the new facility.
