For more than 14 years, Micah Drummond has partnered with the CTSI Clinical Research Unit (CRU) and CRU Clinical Research RNs for the performance of skeletal muscle studies in research participants. His protocols require a variety of clinical research resources and expertise that is readily available in the CTSI CRU, including inpatient overnight space within CRU research space at the University Hospital. We are currently scheduling participant visits for three protocols and are starting additional protocols now. Together, with his co-investigators and study teams, we have completed several of Dr. Drummond’s protocols and would like to recognize his dedication to balancing scientific rigor with genuine compassion for his research population.
