CASE CCC IN THE NEWSSalon Group Targets Tanning 'Myths' Secretary of State Clinton Remains Hospitalized for Blood Clot Woman's Faith and Love of Family Help her Overcome Cancer Novel Assay Shows Promise in Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia Researcher Spotlights Changes in Treatment of ALL Fibulin-3 Biomarker May Detect Early-stage Pleural Mesothelioma ANNOUNCEMENTSKurt Stange To Lead Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute Research ProjectDr. Kurt Stange will lead a project funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. The project will compare how focusing on patient strengths and patient-centered treatment can enhance patient health care and well-being as opposed to the usual model of focusing on the patient's symptoms, limitations and weaknesses. The project is part of a portfolio of patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research that addresses PCORI's National Priorities for Research and Research Agenda. [more] Seidman Cancer Center Clinical Trials Unit Celebrate New Office SpaceThe University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center (SCC) recently sponsored an open house event to celebrate the grand opening of new offices for the Clinical Trials Unit (CTU). The administrative offices of the SCC CTU have been relocated to the Fenway Manor building on the corner of Stokes Boulevard and Euclid Avenue. This refurbished physical space consists of more than 6000 square feet, and brings together more than 50 employees who were previously dispersed. As Case CCC Associate Director for Clinical Research Dr. Neal Meropol notes, "The open style of architecture of this state-of-the-art facility was designed to encourage a high level of interaction and teamwork. I'm especially fond of the comfortable window seat for informal meetings." The newly redesigned space includes office and meeting space, and research chart storage space on site for the administrative, management, regulatory, data and clinical staff. The new offices will supplement our existing clinical and administrative space in the Seidman Cancer Hospital. Parking is available at the Walker Building, across the street from new location. Access to the building is provided through the main entrance to Fenway Manor on Stokes Blvd. and contacting the research staff via the intercom system, or by directly contacting Melissa Kadar, Director Clinical Trials Unit.
