What This Site Offers
Diverse urban patient access
A pre-consented, multi-ethnic database of 22,000+ patients in the New York metro area — with particular depth in type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and lipid disorders.
Senior investigator bench
Five active physician investigators, each with 20+ years of clinical and research experience, including a dedicated cardiologist and endocrinologist. Our investigators conduct their research exclusively with A1 Clinical, and study oversight is not delegated down.
Infusion-capable independent facility
Phlebotomy, ECG, centrifuge, −20°C and −70°C specimen storage, and on-site infusion administration — without hospital scheduling dependency.
Phase II–IV track record
Studies conducted for global top-20 pharmaceutical sponsors across cardiometabolic, respiratory, and other therapeutic areas, under ICH-GCP guidelines.
Representative enrollment
A Catchment Built for Diverse Recruitment
As diverse, representative enrollment becomes a central regulatory and sponsor priority, where a site sits matters. Our locations reach from suburban Long Island into two of the most diverse, heavily immigrant communities in the United States — giving studies access to populations that are often hard to recruit and retain.
