What our customers are saying...

[RCMU staff has] the concept of running a clinical trial and coordinating within UNC. This makes training the specific protocol or therapeutic area much easier and minimizes training time to start a trial.

RCMU has relieved a huge amount of stress and freed up my bandwidth to focus on science! Just the process of meeting with Laura Tuttle and discussing a possible scope of work was very helpful.
