In May 2008, the EMA issued a statement of final conclusions for these biomarkers of nephrotoxicity. To date, the total number of C-Path EMA rating opinions is nine, with the same number of letters of support.
As part of the C-Path Data Collaboration Center (DCC), the Ireland team participates in global efforts. The DCC was founded to deliver secure, large-scale data solutions for medical research and to provide unsurpassed expertise in the selection, standardization, analysis, and sharing of medical data from around the world. DCC operates in neutral space with a focus on accelerating clinical research and improving treatments by maximizing the utility of medical data.
