News & Events


Basic Study Nurse Training
During 1st – 3rd September, we organized the Study Nurse Training for the second time. This training provides insight into the clinical research and clarifies the role and responsibility of the study nurses who hold important research studies roles.

Basic Study Coordinator Training
Our two-day workshop Study Coordinator Training aims to give attendees the significance, role, and responsibility of the study coordinators. The training took place in the first-floor meeting room of the SiMR building in August 2020.

COVID-19 Crisis Research Monitoring Project
COVID-19 brought us many lessons. Siriraj Hospital, the first and the largest hospital of the land responded and implemented many measures to halt the spread of the pandemic in all level. The more important question is how the “knowledge” be derived and applied to treat the disease; not just only the COVID-19 but all new emerging diseases. The answer is through the “Clinical Research.”

Drug-resistant infections: the silent pandemic that we must tackle now
The unchecked growth of drug-resistant infections is a silent pandemic with long-term implications for global health security. As the world reels from the impact of COVID-19, it would be a tragedy not to apply the lessons we are learning to the fight against drug resistance.
Who we are
Siriraj Institute of Clinical Research (SICRES) is an academic clinical research institute, operating under the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University.
