Eastern Clinical Research Unit

Under this umbrella organisation, staff at Box Hill and Maroondah Hospitals carry out high-quality translational research, predominantly sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. ECRU provides expert service in clinical trials for companies in the health and biotechnology sector.

ECRU at any one time is involved in more than 150 active clinical trials, with more than 1500 patients. More than 40 Clinical Trial Coordinators (nurses, dieticians, scientists) work with eight investigating groups: haematology, oncology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hepatology, neurology, respiratory medicine, and nephrology.

ECRU Biotech, under the direction of Dr Anthony Dear, is the development arm of ECRU and conducts a number of translational research projects in multiple disciplines.
