At Yale New Haven Health, patient care is strengthened by active research and discovery. As an academic health system, we support medical professionals across disciplines with the infrastructure, expertise, and collaborative environment needed to translate research into real-world care—bringing innovation directly to the bedside and into the communities we serve.
Through our close collaboration with Yale School of Medicine and Yale Center for Clinical Investigation (YCCI), we create a seamless academic ecosystem where clinical practice, education, and research are fully integrated. This partnership connects Yale New Haven Health clinicians with Yale’s scientific leadership, enabling multidisciplinary collaboration, streamlined clinical research operations, and shared governance all through unified IRB support. Together, we accelerate clinical trials, expand access to emerging therapies, and ensure that discoveries made in the lab rapidly inform patient care across our system.
Through the Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital network, we collaborate with other hospitals and programs, opening clinical trials to patients throughout the region and providing people with greater access to comprehensive clinical programs for cancer care. The Yale Cancer Center is the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in Connecticut.
The mission of the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation is to train outstanding clinical and translational scientists and to provide an effective and innovative infrastructure for clinical research that improves health outcomes for all patients.
Clinical trials span every area of medicine—from oncology and immunology to cardiovascular disease, neurology, behavioral health, and precision medicine. Visit Yale Medicine for a list of open clinical trials.
