Hawaii Pacific Neuroscience Clinical Research Center (CRC) proven model, and combined years of experience affords us the ability to provide Hawaii patients with groundbreaking new neuroscience treatment options.
Our team fosters a culture of innovation and collaboration whether it is our scientists & students working in the lab to understand disease process or our physician investigators involved in translational research bringing basic science first in human research to our patients in our overnight PK research unit, collaborating with our partners on trial conception, design and IND application to FDA or simply mentoring students, our focus, commitment, and our hearts will always be to our serve our patients and their precious ohana (families) and to improve their quality of life.
Our Center for Neuroscience Diversity is dedicated to reducing the disparity in minority participation in clinical trials especially for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders and other minority groups as defined by NIH National Institute on Minority Health & Health Disparities (NIMHD) –
The Brain Research, Innovation & Translation Lab (BRITL) is part of the University of Hawaii John Burns School of Medicine MD5 MED 599 Neuroscience Research Course. BRITL program award scholarships to exceptional medical students each year as well as mentor graduate, undergraduate and medical students working in groups including interns in the Summer Internship Program. Our faculty lecture for the University of Hawaii Graduate Course BIOMED 640 – Introduction to Clinical Research. See their Recent Publications
The Clinical Research Center (CRC) is comprised of the below dedicated research units focused on specific disease entities, fully staffed with full time investigators and credentialed, experienced and qualified raters, research coordinators & staff. The CRC is a nationally highly sought-after site with a reputation for successful completion and recruitment including rapid site start up.
