Advancing Innovation Through Partnership

As well as our work as a CDC – we’re also an active hub for clinical research. Working alongside trusted academic and industry partners, we are helping to develop, evaluate, and implement the next generation of diagnostic tools and imaging techniques.

Whether you’re a patient interested in participating or a sponsor looking for a high-quality research site, we’re committed to carrying out research that drives meaningful improvements in healthcare.

How to Join Our Research

Participation in research is always voluntary, and consent based. If you’re attending the CDC for a diagnostic scan, you may be offered the opportunity to take part in a study. This might involve you answering a few additional health-related questions or including your (anonymized) imaging data in an ongoing study.

Every research project is ethically approved and fully explained – and you’re free to opt out at any time.

Oxford CDC as a Research Site

The Oxford CDC is uniquely positioned as a research-ready site, offering:

• Access to a diverse patient population across multiple referral pathways
• Experienced clinical and administrative staff trained in Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
• Imaging technology including MRI, CT, x-ray, and ultrasound
• A secure, compliant infrastructure for data handling and participant privacy

We welcome collaboration with academic institutions, NHS trusts, companies, and commercial sponsors looking to run imaging-based or observational studies.

Research through Perspectum

The CDC is part of Perspectum, a leading precision health company developing innovative, non-invasive imaging diagnostics. This relationship allows us to support clinical trials focused on liver, metabolic, and multi-organ diseases – helping bring cutting-edge solutions from research to reality.

By taking part in research conducted with Perspectum, participants contribute to the development of tools that could improve diagnosis and treatment for millions around the world.
