TriWest Research Associates’ “TWRA” mission is to provide a comprehensive set of services to aid in the process of bringing new and effective treatments to the market, through Phase II, III, and IV clinical trials.
Our team -- led by Principal Investigator Louis J. Levy, Jr., M.D., Chief Financial Officer Mohamed N. Hakim, MBA, and Director of Business Development Brian Norton -- has a collective history of more than 30 years of experience in a clinical practice setting in orthopedics, as well as conducting clinical trials. Located near Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa, TWRA provides our patients with convenient access to a state-of-the-art medical facility where they receive excellent care throughout their study participation.
Our CROs and Sponsors find a wide breadth of services in a spirit of dedication to our San Diego location. Most importantly, they find compassionate care for our patients and subjects. We pride ourselves on delivering quality data and rapid patient enrollment to our Sponsors and CROs.
TWRA has a strong network represented by our Principal Investigator and Sub-Investigators. This breadth of expertise, combined with high levels of experience in applying quality standards, enables TWRA to be an effective resource to Sponsor organizations in promoting the scientific process.
From our Site Directors to our Clinical Research Coordinators, we are committed to high-quality data collection, a comfortable patient experience, and ensuring open and swift communication. Quality, Speed and Integrity defines the culture and motivation of every employee.
