The Marshall Clinical Research Center (MCRC) is advances access to innovative and effective medical treatments for individuals and families throughout our Tri-State region — including West Virginia, Southern Ohio and Eastern Kentucky. We are committed to making cutting-edge care available close to home, so that our neighbors do not have to travel far to receive the best possible options for their health and well-being.

Since its inception, the MCRC has played a vital role in developing and supporting numerous clinical trials, bringing hope and improved treatments to hundreds of patients in our community. Every study we lead is conducted with an unwavering commitment to safety, ethical practices, and research that prioritizes the needs of our local population.

We invite everyone in our region to visit our website regularly to learn about ongoing and upcoming clinical trials that may offer new possibilities for you or your loved ones.

As part of the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine at Marshall University, the MCRC is designed to foster collaboration among our physicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals. Our dedicated team — including experienced investigators, clinicians, and support staff — works together to deliver the latest advancements in medical care to those we serve.
