NIH Clinical Center (CC)’s Post

"Between 1989 and 1993, inclusion of women in clinical research was NIH policy, but it was not law. In 1993, Congress wrote the NIH inclusion policy into Federal law through a section in the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-43) titled Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical Research. 10  The law includes various requirements for NIH-funded research, including the following: *NIH ensures that women and minorities are included in all clinical research. *In trials including women and minorities, the trial should be designed and carried out so that it is possible to analyze whether the variables being studied affect women and minorities differently than other participants. *Cost is not an acceptable reason for excluding women and minorities. *NIH initiates programs and support for outreach efforts to recruit and retain women and minorities and their subpopulations as volunteers in clinical studies." - NIH I was already 20 when women were just starting to be considered for clinical trials...! We (Stack ) are getting there; training and upskilling the future of the clinical research workforce. https://bit.ly/4dPBY56 #womenshealth #clinicalresearch #diversity #workforcedevelopment

AACR '24 - See you in San Diego! Over 22,000 attendee's and 1000's of vendor participants - Wow - somehow we have to find each other, connect and chat science. I have had the pleasure of meeting many researchers through-out my career and would love to bump into you again. Please find time and stop by the Seer Booth 3824 and see how SEER is making an impact in Cancer Research #Biomarkers, #precisionmedicine, #DrugTargets #globalproteomics

🔦 Session Spotlight: "Clinical and Scientific Updates in Kidney Cancer" at #KCRS24, moderated by Toni Choueiri. Perfect for patients and community oncologists, this session covers research on the rapidly changing clinical treatment landscape of #kidneycancer. #AcceleratingCures

Introducing Breakthroughs: A video series highlighting innovations in care across our WMCHealth network. We have a new ally in fighting brain cancer. At Westchester Medical Center, we are one of the few institutions nationally participating in a clinical trial for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. We are a leader in subject enrollment for this trial and as an academic medical center, we are always at the forefront of new treatments. #WeAreWestchester #AdvancingCareHere

🔬 Every breakthrough in Colorectal Cancer research stems from the dedication of patients, researchers, and healthcare professionals participating in clinical trials. Our team is glad to contribute to this important work. In a recent CRC trial, Science 37 helped the sponsor recruit 50% of patients for the study and enabled access across 49 states, accelerating the overall timeline by more than 3 years.

The #Proteographworkflow can be completed with less than 45 minutes of hands-on time and can identify thousands of #proteins in less than an hour of #LCMS. If you're heading to American Association for Cancer Research's #AACR24 in San Diego, we'd love to explore how our #technology can help support your #oncologyresearch. Our team will be at Booth #3825. #proteomics #healthcare #innovation #scienceandtechnology #proteomicsresearch
