Clinical, translational and basic science research in women’s health
The 4 divisions of the OB/GYN department comprise a diverse research portfolio, including numerous multi-disciplinary investigator initiated clinical trials which are supported by 3 full time faculty and staff members from the Center for Clinical Research along with statistical research services providing expertise in research methodology. The full spectrum of assistance is available to faculty, residents and fellows to bring their innovative clinical research ideas to fruition, which is significant to sustain an important aspect of the mission for the School of Medicine. Clinical research staff provide on-going support for project development, Internal Review Board (IRB) review and submission, grant writing, patient screening, consenting and tracking, data acquisition and analysis and ultimately manage the dissemination of results as poster and manuscript preparation.

National recognition. Regional impact.
“This recognition confirms what we at SIU have always known: that world-class research is happening right here in central and southern Illinois.” – Dr. Jerry Kruse
