Siriraj Tissue and Biological fluid  Repositories

Research and development of the methods for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease is a lengthy and cost and labor intensive process. One factor that can add a significant amont of extra time to the research and development process is the need to collect tissue and bio-fluid from patients with a disease of interest in order to test the methods of research and development before being put to the test on humans (clinical phases 1, 2, and 3). In addition, research and development in the methods for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease in endemic health problems in developing countries is of major interest to leading companies. Research and development can help to solve these problems.

Siriraj Clinical Research Center

Siriraj Clinical Research Center was established in 2003 to support and promote clinical research related activities, especially commercial research and medical therapeutics development during phase 1 and 2 clinical trials. Core services provided by the Clinical Research Center are the bioequivalence studies on generic formulation of drugs and all clinical researches from phase 1 to 4. These services are provided by staff members who have been GCP-trained and have clinical research skills and experience.

Siriraj Insatitution Review Board : SiRB

Siriraj Institutional Review Board has a responsibility in human research project authorization and aims to preserve subject’s honor, right, safety, and well-being, according to international ethics and standards. The average of project proposal is over 800 projects each year. SIRB launched online seminar program “The Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI program)” which is self-learning program in human ethics, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and animal ethics. The user will receive the certification of the training, when they pass the assessment of the program. SIRB has been observed by The Forum for Ethical Review Committees in the Asian and Western Pacific Region /The Strategic Initiative for Developing Capacity in Ethical Review (FERCAP/ SIDCER).
