They were the $10,000 winners of The Henry A. Panasci Jr. Competition out of the University at Buffalo in 2017, and now they have their sights on expanding distribution to some of the biggest names in retail.

Circuit Clinical maintains a list of current studies and the types of patients needed, shares that information with physicians, helps identify potential participants, and manages the data collected as a result of the study.
