Vitruvian Shield
About · Scientific Advisory Board

Scientific Advisory Board & Investigator Network

A board of clinicians, methodologists and translational researchers is being formed to advise Vitruvian Shield and the studies prepared on it.

Role of the Board

The Scientific Advisory Board is being formed. Once constituted, it will provide scientific oversight of the platform, review protocols submitted by partner institutions, contribute to publications under the ICMJE authorship criteria, and review the platform against the requirements of decentralised and hybrid clinical research. Seats are reserved for academic clinicians, methodologists and principal investigators from the institutions preparing studies on Vitruvian Shield.

Reserved seats

Seats reserved for the Instituto Pedro Nunes academic partners, the principal investigator of PT-EPI-DCT-002, and two further advisor positions, all pending confirmation.

Discuss a study collaboration

If you are an academic investigator considering Vitruvian Shield for an upcoming study, the scientific team will work with you on protocol design, platform fit, and an institutional licence path before any commercial commitment.
