Our mission: to develop sustainable solutions that make clinical research seamless and inclusive.
Our Story
There is a wealth of scientific discovery that takes too long to make a difference for people. Too many hindrances create too many delays. At i-Cubed™, we want to chip away at the big obstacles in clinical research, piece-by-piece. We help bring ideas to market that can make meaningful differences in the speed, efficiency, impact, and inclusivity of clinical research.
Established by the Duke Clinical Research Institute, i-Cubed works with clinical research innovators to nurture their ideas to become products, initiatives or even companies that can improve and transform clinical research in some way.
You may have thought about a small improvement to an existing clinical research process, or have a potentially transformational innovation. You may be an individual with the kernel of an idea that still needs work, have a more developed plan with a team in place, or you may represent an enterprise looking for partnership to commercialize an innovation. Once we decide to take on your idea, i-Cubed will support you with resources, consultation, and other expertise to help bring it to life. We work with you regardless of the stage you’re at, to help prepare your innovation for market launch.
