Research Experiences

Reviewing our research accomplishments over the past 3 years, we are pleased with progress toward our vision of bringing together all the talent in basic, population, and clinical science to translate scientific discoveries into clinical applications as quickly and safely as possible.

Together with the international scientific community, we are striving to understand disease processes, devise prevention strategies, and develop newer better treatments for different disease conditions that will benefit populations worldwide at large. The main focus of our research program is to move new discoveries quickly into the clinics where they can benefit our patients.

We contributed significantly in the successful completion of approximately 50 global multicerntric, randomized gold standard clinical trial since inception.

Currently we are participating and conducting over 50 global & Indian clinical trial protocols (Phase I-IV) - which has increased rapidly over last 3 years. Our practice-based research network is a group of physicians interested in improving the quality of patient care and enhancing the practice of medicine through collaborative research with colleagues outside of their own practices, Academic Medical Centres, Sponsors & all other possible partners

Similarly, our site has been involved in designing; planning and conduct of over two hundred Investigators initiated clinical research protocols which includes academic thesis, observation & preventive epidemiological and lifestyle modification trials.

  • Our highly skilled experienced lead investigator with the support of experienced trained & dedicated site support team has been very successful in mentoring & creating the next generation of investigators’ and provided a platform to conduct highly complex clinical trials with high compliance and cut down on adverse events and protocol deviations
  • Our clinical research experience of 22 since inception has given the all physician & surgeons the cutting edge opportunities to large number of Cardiology & allied physicians to cater the services and more importantly help communities in transforming information into usable medical and therapeutic knowledge
  • We are committed to improving the outcome of all phases of clinical trials
