Initially, the unit which supported clinical trials implementation within the structures of Medical University of Łódź was the Clinical Trials Section (SBK) at that time –  a part of The Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer (CIITT). In 2019, the SBK was transformed into an independent unit with the new name Clinical Research Centre (CBK). In 2021 a project founded by the Medical Research Agency (ABM), was launched to expand the CBK into a highly specialised Clinical Trials Support Unit (CWBK), which would provide a comprehensive support in the implementation of both non-commercial and commercial clinical trials.
