MCWBK GUMed–UCK
Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Support Centre at GUMed–UCK
About the project
The MCWBK GUMed–UCK project aims to consolidate activities focused on increasing the number and improving the quality of clinical trials, both commercial and non-commercial, conducted by the Medical University of Gdańsk and its clinical partners – the University Clinical Centre (UCK) and the University Dental Centre (UCS).
Due to limited access to innovative therapies in Poland, participation in clinical trials may offer many patients a real opportunity to receive modern treatment. The development of infrastructure and the increased number of trials within MCWBK directly contribute to improving access to therapies and the quality of care.
Why is the project important?
The MCWBK project responds to key challenges in the healthcare system – limited access to innovative therapies and an insufficient number of clinical trials. By developing infrastructure and strengthening the competencies of research teams, the project supports Poland’s greater participation in international research initiatives.
Strengthening the research infrastructure of GUMed and its partners enables clinical trials to be conducted at the highest level, in accordance with international quality and safety standards.
Infrastructure and competence development
An important element of the project is the development of the Early Phase Clinical Trials Centre , which enables participation in the most advanced stages of new therapy development.
Infrastructure investments and the implementation of modern clinical trial management systems help increase the efficiency of research teams, improve process quality and strengthen cooperation with trial sponsors.
The project also includes the development of infrastructure for conducting clinical trials in dentistry and the implementation of systems enabling remote monitoring of non-commercial clinical trials.
