Welcome to the Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Unit which houses the AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (ID-CRU/ACTU) at Washington University School of Medicine. Our clinical studies provide preventative care and treatment of diseases while also advancing the development of new therapies and medications.

I love going to the ID-CRU because the staff is so friendly, helpful and passionate about their work. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for research. I have never felt better about my health since I my participation in the studies.
