The CCRC's mission is to improve patient care with scientific leadership and high ethical standards through innovative and collaborative clinical research. Established in 2000, the CCRC is the largest academic research organization (ARO) in Japan and employs 85 clinical research professionals whose specialties span Chiba University Hospital's 35 departments.
The CCRC collaborates with numerous external institutions. These include agencies such as the PMDA and the MHLW, pharmaceutical companies, university hospitals, and AROs across Japan, Asia, the U.S, and Europe. We are additionally engaged in informational exchange with AROs overseas and are working to globally expand our network.
We provide professional education and training on clinical research to CCRC staff, CUH graduate students, and medical professionals from other departments to prepare them to play a central role in regulatory science and drug development.
