Overview

Manhattan Medical Research (MMR) is a multispecialty medical research site proficient in phase 2 to 4 clinical trials. This new site expanded from University Urology Associates, which focuses mostly on urological studies. MMR will continue the tradition of UUA and expand the scope of research to target a wide range of therapeutic areas.

We are located in New York City, the largest city in the U.S. with a population well above 8 million residents. Due to our prime location, we are exposed to a wide variety of patient demographics, allowing for compliance with FDA standards for ethnically and racially diverse subject expectations. We are centrally located in Midtown Manhattan and in close proximity to public transportation, allowing easy access for our subjects.

We also have an extensive network in which we have the ability to partner with many other private practice physicians to augment recruitment of subjects. Additionally, we have a robust outreach program to further assist with recruitment of subjects. Our extensive industry experience and our emphasis on investigator and coordinator training enables us to offer our sponsors a quality research site with a trained and experienced clinical research team.
