Amsterdam UMC has a quality framework in place, the co-called Research Roadmap, that clearly states the steps that need to be followed to carry out research in different settings (i.e., preclinical research, clinical trials, research involving human subjects): from experimental design and collection of data, to closure and publication of the results. Dedicated Research Support teams are in place to provide hands-on support and help researchers comply with integrity and quality requirements.
Furthermore, methodological and statistical support for researchers is available as well and coordinated by the Department of Epidemiology and Data Science. Amsterdam UMC-broad Core Facilities, such as the Core Facilities for Genomics, Metabolomics, Microscopy and Cytometry, and Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells are available for researchers as well.
