The newly established WVU Clinical and Pharmacologic Research Center (CPRC) is a contract research organization (CRO) which will serve the research needs of the pharmaceutical industry by conducting clinical trials of medications being developed for use in the United States and elsewhere. Among the types of studies that can be performed are bio-equivalency studies, required to establish that generic medications have the same properties as their name-brand equivalents, and pharmacokinetic studies, which measure how drugs are absorbed and used by the human body with and without food.
CPRC is a division of the West Virginia University Research Corporation. Its offices and clinical facilities are located at 763 Chestnut Ridge Road, Morgantown, close to the WVU Health Sciences campus, whose faculty provide medical and scientific oversight to the Center.
Although we are a new research facility we were built on a strong foundation of knowledge and perseverance to achieve excellence. Let us start by introducing you to our leaders who are striving one day at a time to put us in a class of our own.
