The Translational Research Institute (TRI) is excited to announce the launch of its Clinical Trials Learning Collaborative Seminar Series. The inaugural session will feature Erika Petersen, M.D., a professor and director of the Section of Functional and Restorative Neurosurgery at UAMS. Petersen will present “Clinical Trials: Enhancing Health While Creating Opportunities for Networking and Career Development” on Tuesday, Jan. 28, from noon to 1 p.m., via Zoom.
This monthly seminar series is designed to expand our community of clinical trialists, featuring state-of-the-art approaches and insights in clinical trials research.
Petersen is a national leader in neuromodulation research and innovation, specializing in technologies that alter nerve activity to treat conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, chronic migraines, stroke and spinal cord injuries. About 90% of her surgical cases involve implanting neuromodulation devices, many of which were initially part of clinical trials she led. Her groundbreaking work has been supported by TRI’s Clinical Trials Innovation Unit, enabling her to bring cutting-edge advancements to patients.
This seminar offers a unique opportunity to learn from Petersen’s expertise, gain insights into clinical trials research, and explore its impact on health outcomes, networking and career development.
