Our center is proud of its over 3,000 subjects who are interested in participating in our studies. These patients include kids and adults with asthma, allergies or COPD.

The Clinical Research Center has participated in community education at the St. Louis Science Center, health fairs and demonstrations at local schools. Along with the study trials the staff and coordinators educate the patient with regard to their particular illness.

We are an educational resource for outreach physicians with regard to new modalities for treatment.
