Integrating Patient Communities with Social Media and Health Information Technology for Therapeutics Development and Implementation Research in Zimbabwe

The Center for Integrated Global Biomedical Sciences (CIGBS) works with the University of Zimbabwe to build research capacity in clinical pharmacology and pharmaceutical sciences.

Innovative programs include UB's Translational Pharmacology Research Core and UB Drug Development Core

The UB Center for Integrated Global Biomedical Sciences (CIGBS) is the administrative coordinating center for the SUNY Global Health Institutes’s (GHI) co-director. The institute enables global health programs at the SUNY academic health centers and system-wide across the campuses. It also fosters collaboration with corporate, economic and international partners as innovative leaders in education, training and research initiatives.

Biomedical clinical research requires an organized, monitored and quality-assured program that encourages interaction among faculty members, students, patients, funding agencies and the pharmaceutical research industry. As a result the West Indies Ministry of Health and UWI are collaborating to ensure that GLP, GCLP and ISO accreditation standards are met and sustained. They will be looking at data management systems along with the country's strategic plan for health information technology and a digital records system.
