The Center for Clinical & Translational Craniofacial Research has the goal of bridging basic science research and clinical applications. Its main component is the Clinical Research Clinic with approximately 3,500 square feet and composed of six clinical and surgical operatories, laboratory space for biological sampling and storage, recovery room and interview/data collection room. The Translational/Clinical Research cluster provides the ideal environment for investigators to perform hypothesis generating clinical studies and randomized clinical trials testing new therapies.
