CTEBs RU

Clinical Trials and Evidence-Based Syntheses Research Unit (CTEBs RU)

The Clinical Trials and Evidence-Based Syntheses Research Unit (CTEBs RU) was established in 2018 as part of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahasarakham University.  This RU focuses on clinical trial and evidence-based synthesis studies for both non-pharmacotherapy and pharmacotherapy interventions including herbal and alternative medicines.
