The year 2018 was one of expansion for us at the SCTO. In just over a year, we set up new offices in Bern followed by eight centres of excellence throughout Switzerland: the SCTO Platforms. Each platform serves as a centre of excellence, consisting of a team with expertise, skills, and knowledge related to one key aspect of clinical research: in auditing, education and training, data management, monitoring, project management, regulatory affairs, safety, and statistics and methodology.

In creating the SCTO Platforms, we are striving to make the hive of clinical research in Switzerland efficient, smart, and collaborative. The whole of society depends on excellence in research bringing new and innovative treatments and diagnoses to patients.

We look forward to collaborating further with you and wish you a thriving 2019!
