Overview

Dermatology Research Centers consists of two clinical research dermatology offices located in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, each specializing in dermatology and cosmetic clinical research. Our newly expanded facilities specialize in phase 1 to 4 clinical research trials, as well as original pilot studies for the development of cosmetic and dermatological therapies.

Our staff consists of board-certified dermatologists and research coordinators dedicated to dermatological and cosmetic research. Our two sites are ideally situated within a subject population of 11 million persons. We also hold focus groups to assess OTC topical agents and skin-related materials.
