The team of the Paediatric Research Centre (PRC) has set itself the task of implementing effective and high-quality clinical research at the UKBB. The PFZ consists of an interdisciplinary team (physicians, research nurses, data managers, statisticians, regulatory experts, coordinators, administrative specialists and quality officers) who will provide you with professional support for your studies and projects. Together with your team, we are committed to providing competent and expert care for the participating children and adolescents and their families.
The Paediatric Research Centre is centrally located in the UKBB. This enables networking with all areas of the hospital and close, efficient collaboration with all departments of the hospital. If necessary, areas and departments of the University Hospital Basel (USB) can be involved. We are happy to work successfully with the hospital pharmacy, the laboratory and the DKF.
As part of the Eckenstein-Geigy Professorship for Paediatric Pharmacology, the first infrastructural elements for clinical research at UKBB were developed in the first few months of 2016. In summer 2016, the Outpatient Study Centre (ASZ) began its work under the joint leadership of Prof. Johannes van den Anker and Dr Julia Bielicki and in close collaboration with the Department of Clinical Research at the University Hospital Basel. In the first few years, the work of the ASZ focused on the research and development of drugs for newborns, infants, children and adolescents as part of the Professorship of Paediatric Pharmacology.
With the takeover of activities within the SwissPedNet research network, the centre's range of tasks expanded. Since 2018, the range of expertise has been continuously expanded in line with the needs identified by the researchers and research management at UKBB, enabling UKBB to participate in international research projects. In summer 2021, the ASZ became the UKBB Paediatric Research Centre (PFZ).
The PFZ is subject to the regulatory and legal requirements for conducting clinical trials. The processes of clinical trials are defined and standardised through our own quality management system (QMS) and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
The PFZ uses the DKF's "orca" web application. The processes are visualised, trained and managed there by quality managers. The documents are available to the study team members in the system. Training certificates can be recorded individually in the system and serve as proof that study team members have the necessary knowledge to use the PFZ. In the event of an audit by Swissmedic or the ethics committee, for example, the QMS serves as a quality control instrument.
