Particular areas of interest or experience in cardiovascular trial design and delivery

Founded in 2006, the Edinburgh Clinical Trials Unit (ECTU), led by Professor John Norrie, is a UK-CRC registered unit based within the Usher Institute of Edinburgh University. The unit provides the infrastructure and expertise necessary to design, plan and deliver clinical trials and works closely with the local sponsor, the Academic and Clinical Central Office for Research and Development (ACCORD). Our dedicated Research Development Team support investigators to translate their research ideas into high-quality grant applications.

ECTU’s research portfolio contains many cardiovascular trials including CTIMPs, randomised clinical trials, meta-analysis and observational studies. We select our trials in line with our strategy to positively impact human health challenges and synergise with the research strengths of the University that include experimental/translational medicine, imaging and data science.
