BMC Health System is dedicated to advancing innovative research that tackles the nation’s toughest health challenges, creating reproducible models that improve outcomes and close health gaps for communities across the country. Boston Medical Center, New England's largest essential hospital, enables researchers to bring new and innovative treatments through clinical trials to patient populations that might otherwise face barriers to participation.
Together with BMC Brighton and BMC South, they comprise a multi-hospital system that delivers community-informed clinical research, unlocking potential therapies for tough-to-treat conditions.
Our Resources
Companies that work with us can engage with physician-investigators experienced in clinical trials in a wide variety of therapeutic areas. Collaborators can also engage BMC’s Clinical Research Network, which provides high-quality staffing services, including community-engaged recruitment, to rapidly activate and manage complex and clinically important studies.
Companies can also access clinical data for research and work with our in-house pathology research laboratory.
Our Differentiators
The Clinical Research Unit (CRU) at BMC allows patients to receive cutting-edge treatments, including Phase I clinical trials and studies requiring 24-hour observation, right in their medical home. The space decreases barriers to access for patients and ensures continuity of care and improved trial retention.
Through partnerships with industry sponsors and the support of clinical teams, the BMC Health System research enterprise is bringing cutting-edge treatments to patients not historically represented in science.
Together with our external collaborators, we are advancing science for all.
We are thrilled to announce that Boston Medical Center (BMC) is now part of our U.S. Advancing Inclusive Research Site Alliance and our first multi-indication collaboration. As a patient-focused organization, we believe BMC will be able to develop innovative initiatives to provide underserved communities in Massachusetts with opportunities to learn more about and participate in clinical studies. BMC’s dedication and compassion for all patients is inspiring.
