The DDC has a unique comprehensive clinical research program based on the collaboration of specialists from a variety of disciplines whose focus is primarily on digestive diseases.
DDC Research efforts are managed by the DDC Clinical Trials Office which consists of a grants coordinator, program coordinator, clinical research nurses and study coordinators.
Research practice at the DDC is linked heavily to the process of daily routine patient care since the mission of our research is not only to improve the treatment of diseases but also to improve overall patient care.
Soon after DDC was established, it created in 1997 the Office of Sustainable Design (OSD), for the purposes of identifying and implementing cost-effective ways to promote greater environmental responsibility in building design.
In October 2005, DDC published a companion piece for infrastructure, the High Performance Infrastructure Guidelines, one of the first of its kind in the world.
All new DDC projects are now required to start with an environmental meeting, to use construction materials with recycled content and low toxicity, and to develop a waste management plan, among other measures.
