Learn more about us and our physician investigator team here.
Our facility conducts Phase II-IV clinical trials. We are dedicated to achieving excellence in the quality of science, providing the best possible research experience for sick and healthy subjects alike and enforcing the highest standards of biomedical ethics for the conduct of research.
Our center is a well known research center in the local community, surrounding areas and the pharmaceutical industry, due to its reputation for having extensively trained employees who are highly dedicated and devoted in providing the highest standards of patient care at all times. Our entire clinical team is committed to producing highly effective and efficient data in an effort to facilitate FDA approval and bring new treatment options to the market.
In addition, due to the underrepresentation of minorities in clinical trials, CMR has taken the approach to increase enrollment of the diverse populations in our community. More diverse representation in trials is needed to gain insight that will make medicines most effective for all that may have a need for them.
Physician Investigators
Our physician investigators have many decades of patient care experience and are among the most highly respected physicians in the Chattanooga area. We maintain strict adherence to GCP guidelines. While each physician is active in their private practice, they remain steadfastly committed to excellence in conducting Phase II-IV clinical trials.
