Scottsdale Clinical Research Institute

Piper Cancer Center, the Scottsdale Clinical Research Institute works closely with such partners as the University of Arizona's School of Medicine, Arizona State University, the Translational Genomics Research Institute, and other research organizations to provide opportunities for state-of-the-art clinical research and clinical trials.
