The CRED, specialised in the clinical evaluation of diagnostic
tests, was created in October 1994 via a university-industry
partnership between the Clinical Research Centre of the
CHUS (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke) and
Bayer Canada Inc. within the auspices of a research program
of the FRSQ (Fonds
de la recherche en santé du Québec).
The CRED has a multidisciplinary
research team in clinical biochemistry, economics, statistics,
epidemiology and information management. The research team has developed high standards in evaluation protocols and procedures for diagnostic
tests. In order to increase clinical evaluation efficiency,
our laboratory facilities include a complete and efficient
storage system of human biological specimens.
The Autocontrol project integrates methodologies for the
optimisation of test use and new technology introduction.
Since the creation of the CRED, important collaborative
ventures have been established with various clinical investigators
of our University Hospital as well as with other institutions.
