About this listen

Welcome to the Introduction to Clinical Research Podcast! Join Debbie, a clinical research professional, as she explains clinical research to her friend Elyse. Curious how the COVID vaccine was developed so quickly? Ever wondered what rules determine when you can get a new drug? Remember that one miracle drug they swore would cure cancer back in 2002 but then you never heard of it again? Let’s talk about that.Copyright 2023 All rights reserved.

  • Episode 52 - Data Management
    Sep 22 2025

    In this episode, we’re talking about Data Management because of a listener question - thanks very much Aswini! So, we get into the weeds about the data that is collected as part of a clinical trial and what is done with it - including what “data cleaning” really is!
