Clinical Translational Research Center (CTRC)

The Clinical Translational Research Center is funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health. It provides an infrastructure for the support of meritorious inpatient and outpatient research directed toward studying normal human function as well as the explanation and treatment of human diseases.

The unit includes:

  • nursing support;
  • patient exam rooms;
  • a psychosocial core lab; and
  • a clinical immunology/flow cytometry core lab.

If a researcher is interested in using the services of the CTRC, they must contact the Program Administrator at 303.398.1717 to discuss their protocol. The Program Administrator will assist researchers with completion of the necessary forms which will be submitted to the Scientific Advisory Review Committee at the University of Colorado Denver and then to the National Jewish Health IRB.
