ECRIN’s work and collaboration with p-medicine

Prof. Jacques Demontes - Director General of ECRIN

ECRIN (European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network) is a distributed research infrastructure – a distinct organisation that connects research facilities at multiple sites in countries across Europe and provides services for top-level clinical research. This infrastructure creates added value through access to expertise and patients, increasing the reach, diversity, and result quality of clinical trials.

Prof. Jacques Demotes, Director General of ECRIN, gives us an insight into the work of ECRIN and how it will help European institutions to run multinational clinical trials, who it collaborates with, as well as what it hopes to achieve by partnering with the p-medicine project. A part of the interview is dedicated to the special connection ECRIN has with p-medicine.
