Clinical Research
UC San Diego Department of Pediatrics is a hub for clinical and translational medicine. Our physician-researchers have practiced translational medicine since the beginning of the UCSD/Rady Partnership. That means we are taking the discoveries we learn in the lab and transforming them into new medicines, therapies and ways to improve health care. Each year we enroll people in hundreds of clinical studies. Topics of research range from health behavior and disease prevention to clinical trials of promising investigational drugs, treatments and devices. Whether you have a health condition or are healthy, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference. Currently we have more than 400 active studies.
