​Clinical Trials Unit

​Exploring​ New Horizo​ns for Tomorrow's Cures

Pakistan, the sixth most populous country in the world, ha​s a disease burden higher than the average in the South Asia region. This underlines the need to come up with innovative and effective diagnostic, preventive and curative regimens specifically designed for the local population.​ To cater to the changing needs and global trends, in 2011, the Aga Khan University opened its doors to the Clinical Trials Unit — a state-of-the-art facility that offers a full spectrum of core and supporting administrative services to local researchers as well as global organisations.​​​​
