Over the past 12 months, Keele Clinical Trials Unit has participated in crucial trials in the fight against Covid-19 including the REACT-2 study, a national programme to evaluate pioneering diagnostic tests for coronavirus antibodies, and the Novavax Vaccine Trial hosted by Midlands Partnership University NHS FT

Clinical trials like these have been pivotal to understanding Covid-19 and contributing to the development of testing measures and vaccines to prevent the spread of the disease.

Professor Gillian Lancaster, Director of Keele Clinical Trials Unit, said: “On behalf of all members of Keele CTU, I would like to send a heartfelt thank you to all those who have or will take part in research studies - we cannot do our work without you!” keele.ac.uk/discover/news/…
