UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH MOBILE OSTEOPOROSIS CENTER

The Mobile Laboratory Unit has increased investigators’ ability to enroll in their clinical studies frail participants living in the community and in long-term care facilities. Such individuals are generally unwilling or unable to come to a clinical center outside of their home environment. The unit is a novel and valuable resource that facilitates research for vulnerable individuals related to our mission. The unit was featured in this Discovery Channel promotional piece.
