OVERVIEW

Jacksonville Center for Clinical Research began independent operation in January 1997 as a spin-off of a successful clinical research division of a group cardiology practice. Led by Dr. Michael Koren, Cynthia Buda, and several other principals, we have grown to become the largest independent clinical research organization in Northern Florida. Currently we are conducting research throughout the state of Florida and work with a panel of nearly 100 physicians in multiple therapeutic areas. Our staff is organized in clinical teams. These teams provide depth and continuity of research coordination and allow for immediate responsiveness to the needs of sponsors and CROs.

In 2000, Jacksonville Center for Clinical Research –West Campus, began as its second clinical research site. In 2005, St. Johns Center for Clinical Research in St John’s County and Nature Coast Clinical Research in Inverness Florida and Nature Coast Clinical Research in Crystal River, Florida were also established.
