There are 300+ research trials open in Central Florida at any given time, spanning a broad spectrum of studies, from how to treat diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s to population science and molecular biology.
You don’t want to miss this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast where AdventHealth’s Dr. Steven Smith and Kirk Erickson, Ph.D., share some of the biggest research breakthroughs they’ve seen, what projects are on tap, what they’re eyeing for the future and how the community can help.
“We need the community to be engaged in research. People who may not have a disease but are interested in learning more can contribute to those people who are patients and have some condition that is affecting their lives,” Erickson said. “It takes an entire village to produce the breakthroughs that are going to change the world.”
