Our team supports Faculty research in the 6 sections of General Surgery; Acute Care Surgery, Surgical Oncology, Colorectal Surgery, Endocrine Surgery, Minimally Invasive/Bariatric Surgery and Hepatobiliary Surgery.

Stanford School of Medicine Clinical Research Units (CRUs) were created to provide oversight and support for all clinical trials and clinical research protocols in the CRU portfolio. We provide protocol development, regulatory and study management and financial review in partnership with the Stanford IRB and School of Medicine’s Research Management Group.

Our Biostatistics Core supports clinical research from concept to completion. In the early phases, we provide guidance on study design, run sample size calculations, and develop statistical analysis plans. Our services continue through data analysis, and we collaborate with teams to interpret and present results, including preparation and submission of abstracts and manuscripts.

The development of this unit continues to further our mission to drive innovation in clinical research within General Surgery. By providing comprehensive research support and fostering collaboration, we aim to enhance the quality and impact of research within the Division, ultimately improving patient outcomes and advancing the field of surgery.

Our team is available to collaborate on clinical trials, research and biostatistical projects in the Division of General Surgery.
