Why Sponsors Choose FL Derm Clinical research
Sponsors and CROs need timely answers from people who understand both the protocol and the medicine behind it. The FL Derm Research model provides sponsors with direct access to the research team and a dedicated physician-scientist Director of Research who can respond to feasibility, protocol, medical, and scientific questions without requiring routine inquiries to move through multiple layers of site personnel.
Our research program begins with an existing dermatology patient population rather than a newly assembled recruitment database. We combine specialist dermatology leadership with expertise in clinical medicine, epidemiology, research methodology, biostatistics, and human-subject research governance.
Our practice operates across 17 clinical locations, with physicians and advanced-practice clinicians caring for patients throughout the network.
