Premier Research

At Premier Research we focus on doing what we do best, and on putting all the pieces together to take our customers from proof of concept to regulatory approval. To do that, we have developed a surprising concentration of experience for a mid-sized CRO:
Over 600 trials for virtually every major class of analgesic, including every NSAID pain medication on the market today.
Three times as many medical device studies as the world’s largest CRO.
Pediatric experience with both familiar and extremely rare childhood illnesses, including work at PICUs, NICUs, clinics, and ERs – and a hard-to-match track record of successful neonatal studies.
For the future, we plan on continuing to focus on serving the needs of the small, highly innovative Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies whose developments are changing medical history, especially in the areas of pediatric medicine and rare diseases. We will offer them everything they need to transform brave new ideas into life-saving therapies.
