About us
The Clinical Trials Resource Centre (CTRC) was set up in May 1999 as a one-stop resource centre to promote and co-ordinate high quality clinical trials in SGH. CTRC provides advice to Principal Investigators (PIs) and their Sponsors on the policies and guidelines for conducting clinical trials whether academic or sponsored.
