CRST is a contract research organization (CRO) with over 25 years of expertise in conducting clinical studies. CRST is run by experienced specialists with in-depth understanding of clinical pharmacology and drug development, especially in therapeutic areas such as disorders of the central nervous system and cardiometabolic diseases, dermatology, gastroenterology as well as in vaccines. In early-phase clinical development, CRST can provide a full-service Phase 1 package or only parts of it, depending on the client’s needs. In later phases of clinical development, our clients (Biotech and Pharma companies and CROs) can utilize our two centrally located clinical research units for swift patient recruitment and to generate high quality data. Our clinical research units in Turku and Helsinki are easily accessible for over half of the Finnish population. CRST’s core expertise lies in the understanding of disease mechanisms. Specialists from different fields participate in CRST’s operations as principal investigators and scientific consultants.
