Announcing a unique and unprecedented opportunity for ESTS members.  A Clinical Trials Platform, TEST (Thoracic European Surgical Trials), has been created in order to enhance clinical trial activity within Thoracic Surgery. The aim is to identify areas of interest for clinical trials in thoracic surgery and support our membership in the process of designing and facilitating the take-off by helping to select and connect to potential centers.

The members of the TEST Steering Committee are listed below:

• Hasan Batirel, Istanbul/Turkey    
• Servet Bolukbas, Essen/Germany
• Raul Embun, Zaragoza/Spain
• Pierre Emmanuel Falcoz, Strasbourg/France
• Filippo Gallina, Rome/Italy
• David Harpole, Durham/USA
• Eric Lim, London/UK
• Isabelle Opitz, Zurich/Switzerland
• René Horsleben Petersen, Copenhagen/Denmark
• Brendon Stiles, New York/USA

 

We believe the TEST platform will motivate our members to submit high-quality clinical research proposals. ESTS will continue to promote research and education and provide opportunities to our fellow members.
