The Stanford Clinical Research Unit

The Stanford Clinical Research Unit (SCRU) is a dedicated facility where medical researchers conduct clinical studies to understand and develop treatments for various diseases. Located at Stanford University, it provides a controlled environment to safely test new medications, therapies, and medical devices on volunteers. The goal is to improve patient care by generating reliable scientific data, ensuring treatments are safe and effective before they are widely used. SCRU operates under strict ethical and safety standards, involving trained staff and rigorous protocols to protect participants and produce trustworthy results.
