Nationally recognized for clinical expertise
Advocate Aurora Research Institute is home to some of the nation’s clinical leaders in cancer, cardiovascular, neuroscience and pediatric care, as well as many other specialties. The depth and breadth of our clinical expertise help us explore research questions through innovative clinical trials that are redefining care delivery.
Center of Excellence in Cancer Research
When it comes to cancer care, we know time is precious. Our clinician investigators discover new ways to detect cancer at earlier stages and treat it more effectively, helping people live longer, healthier lives. Our research teams are led by cancer specialists experienced in treating all forms of cancer. Our fully equipped sites deliver the latest in advanced cancer diagnostics and technologies.
Center of Excellence in Cardiovascular Research
Our researchers pioneer innovative research to test investigational drugs and medical devices designed to diagnose, treat, and prevent heart and vascular disease. We use data, technology and expertise to expand the reach of our research and usher in the best-in-class treatments of tomorrow. Advancing care in tandem with industry collaborators and medical device companies, we’re exploring groundbreaking treatments and new therapies tailored to meet each person’s unique needs.
Center of Excellence in Neuroscience Research
We forge new care paths for conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord. Our clinical researchers start with existing treatments and make them better. We’re also working toward solutions for conditions where no treatments existed. Our research portfolio includes the Alzheimer’s disease research program at Advocate Memory Center and the neuro-stroke research program, part of Advocate Aurora Health’s cerebrovascular program.
Center for Child and Family Research
Our leading clinician researchers specialize in maternal-fetal medicine and numerous pediatric subspecialty areas. In our state-of-the-art facilities, we’re addressing previously unmet medical needs through clinical trials designed for children and families. Whether seeking a better understanding of childhood illness and maternal conditions to find ways to prevent them or testing potential new treatments for our pediatric and maternal patients, we’re doing all we can to help children and families live their best and healthiest lives.
Specialty research
We push the boundaries for treating common conditions through clinical trials in multiple specialty areas. Our nationally recognized clinicians conduct clinical trials aimed at improving health outcomes and transforming care delivery in emergency medicine, endocrinology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, primary care, women’s health and more.
Highest standards for clinical trials conduct
Our Clinical Trials Office includes multiple teams specializing in research quality, education and regulatory programs. These teams share a single focus of assuring the highest standards for clinical trials conduct at Advocate Aurora Research Institute. And as one integrated resource for clinical trials research operations, we enhance process consistency and improve efficiency to optimally support successful clinical research.
