In this issue of The TRIbune, we highlight the latest clinical trial success led by Stacie Jones, M.D., and Amy Scurlock, M.D., UAMS researchers at Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Research Institute.
Their decades-long research careers have included consequential collaborations in national clinical trials of new treatments for food allergies. Their work shows how clinical trials can benefit Arkansans, and Jones is helping bring additional clinical trials to researchers at Arkansas Children’s Research Institute in her role as a TRI liaison to the national CTSA Trial Innovation Network.
This issue of The TRIbune also includes a story and link to a video presentation to help researchers understand the difference between translational research and translational science.
TRI Director Laura James, M.D., is also featured for her work leading a national project to help improve clinical trials, which was published in February in the Journal of Clinical and Translational Science.
Our TRI Study of the Month features Nishank Jain, M.D., whose kidney-related research has been aided by the ARresearch registry of potential research volunteers.
