Stanford opens more clinical research sites, lowers infusion costs Stanford’s Clinical and Translational Research Unit (CTRU), headquartered at 800 Welch Road, is the largest research-focused, ambulatory care and laboratory services group supporting clinical trials at the university. The CTRU is a primary backbone for accelerating the translation of diagnostic, treatment and prevention discoveries into patient care. Recently, the CTRU’s management opened a satellite site for gastrointestinal studies at the Stanford Redwood City campus and initiated limited phlebotomy and lab services at the 1070 Arastradero Road clinical facility.
