Irving Center for Clinical Research home page

The Irving Center for Clinical Research (ICCR), including the NIH-funded General Clinical Research Center, has excellent facilities and services to support clinical research. Faculty members from Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, and investigators from the New York State Psychiatric Institute conduct multidisciplinary investigations of human disease and clinical pharmacology. Major foci of research relate to areas such as cancer, lipids and lipoprotein metabolism, obesity, neurology (Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, neonatal brain damage), cardiovascular disease, endocrine disorders (hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus), and psychiatric conditions (substance abuse, depression, schizophrenia). In addition, the center serves research protocols in many other areas. The ICCR fosters training of young clinical investigators through seminar series, courses and mentoring.

ICCR facilities occupy more than 30,000 square feet of space on adjacent floors in Medical Center buildings. An Adult Inpatient Unit has 16 private rooms. The separate Outpatient Unit has five rooms for interviews, examination, and treatment. There are separate pediatric inpatient and outpatient units. A core laboratory performs specialized research assays of all kinds. A data management unit assists investigators in the design of experiments and the analysis of the resulting data and advises on data management issues. The Nutrition Unit collaborates in the design and analysis of research protocols, provides nutritional counseling, and prepares nutrient-controlled meals for study diets.
