Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR) Campuses

The Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR) in Leiden is a leading institution focused on early-phase clinical drug research. While CHDR is not a traditional university with degree programs, it offers specialized training and educational programs for professionals and researchers in the field of pharmacology and clinical research. The campus serves as a hub for innovative drug development studies and provides unique learning opportunities for those involved in medical and pharmaceutical sciences.

• Clinical Pharmacology Training: CHDR offers intensive training programs for researchers and clinicians, focusing on the principles of clinical pharmacology, drug development, and early-phase clinical trials. Participants gain hands-on experience in conducting human studies under strict ethical and scientific guidelines.
• Research Methodology Workshops: These workshops are designed for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of research design, data analysis, and regulatory requirements in clinical trials. Topics include pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and biomarker development.
• Specialized Short Courses: CHDR provides short courses on topics such as innovative trial designs, patient safety in drug research, and the use of advanced technologies in clinical studies. These are tailored for industry professionals and academic researchers alike.
• Collaborative Educational Programs: In partnership with academic institutions like Leiden University, CHDR offers opportunities for students and researchers to engage in cutting-edge projects, often as part of master’s or PhD programs in related fields.

Located in the heart of Leiden’s Bio Science Park, the campus fosters collaboration between researchers, industry partners, and healthcare professionals. Its state-of-the-art facilities support both education and research, making it a pivotal center for advancing human drug research in the Netherlands and beyond.
