Mission

Our mission is to support ethical, high-quality, state-of-the-art clinical trials that bring together discovery and innovation to find new ways to cure diseases and improve patients’ lives.

About the Clinical Trials Office

At Stony Brook, we prioritize patient safety and trust in all of our clinical trials. The Clinical Trials Office works closely with investigators, coordinators, sponsors, and oversight bodies to ensure that every study is conducted responsibly and meets the highest standards. We take a hands-on approach in reviewing study protocols, monitoring safety signals, and making certain ethical safeguards are always in place. Our team supports principal investigators to implement clinical trials from planning to execution, ensuring every trial reflects the values of transparency, integrity, and protection of research participants.
