Patients can participate in research trials locally for areas such as oncology and Lyme disease with the Clinical Research Unit at Marshfield Medical Center-Weston. This is a convenient location for patients to participate in research studies, have samples collected and undergo physical examinations that are required for study participants.

Strength in Research: Improving Prevention, Early Detection and Treatment

Precision Medicine

The Center for Precision Medicine Research gives patients access to new diagnostics and therapies, innovating care now and in the future.

Clinical Trials and Studies

Patients have access to care through open clinical trials. This includes study-related follow-up visits, procedures, and lab tests at no cost to them or their insurance.
Scientists collaborate with providers across the Health System to provide patients access to more than 440 open clinical trials annually.

Infectious Diseases and Tick-Borne Disease Research

For 30 years researchers have led studies to help prevent and treat tick-borne infections such as Lyme disease, babesiosis and anaplasmosis.
Patients have early access to treatments improved long-term outcomes for pediatrics and adults.

National Influenza Leader

Center for Clinical Epidemiology & Population Health pioneered studies in evaluating the effectiveness of annual influenza vaccines and has remained a leader in the field for nearly 20 years. This work has improved overall care in vaccine efficacy, effectiveness, and safety.

Genetics Research

Researchers played a critical role in sequencing the human genome, developing one of the first and best structural genetic maps of humankind.
The human genome sequence creates a better understanding of the genetic basis of diseases and improves diagnosis.

Farm Health and Safety

Dedicated to improving the health and well-being of farmers and their families, the National Farm Medicine Center is the largest agricultural health and safety team in the U.S.
The National Children’s Center for Rural Agricultural Health and Safety works with communities to reduce injuries and fatalities for youth living and working in agricultural communities.

Trauma Care

Data shows low-density population areas have higher rates of trauma fatalities. The trauma research program improves the critical quality of trauma care and acute care surgery by studying the unique character of rural area trauma and improving prevention and patient recovery.
