The clinical trials and databases team is directed by Laurent Servais and includes two groups.
One group, led by Dr Laurent Servais, is in charge of interventional research and manages clinical trials in children and adults. Located at the Trousseau Pediatric Hospital in the I-Motion Institute, this team is composed of four doctors, six CRAs, two kinesiologists, two project managers, one quality engineer, one clinical research technician and two medical secretaries (access to the composition of the Trousseau team and its recent publications).
The other group, specialised in non-interventional research, is in charge of databases and registries. Led by Dr Karim Wahbi, the group has another doctor and five clinical research associates (CRAs). This team is located in the Babinski building at the La Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital.
