Alcanza Acquires North Georgia Clinical Research to Expand Opportunities for Research Participation | Alcanza Clinical Research

ORLANDO, Fla.June 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — With patient diversity becoming increasingly important to biopharmaceutical stakeholders, Alcanza Clinical Research, a mission-focused investigator site network, announces the acquisition of North Georgia Clinical Research (NGCR), an investigator site based in Woodstock, Georgia. As a research provider for more than two decades, NGCR specializes in general medicine studies involving Alzheimer’s disease prevention, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, digestive conditions, pain, as well as men’s and women’s health indications.

“Investigator site location is foundational to improving clinical trial diversity,” said Carlos Orantes, CEO of Alcanza. “NGCR’s proximity to a diverse range of patients in the Atlanta metropolitan area, as well as those in more rural areas of Georgia is central to our strategy of bringing more sites into our network who can help bridge the urban-rural gap in access to clinical trials and innovative medicine.”

“Since founding NGCR in 2002 and establishing a large base of volunteers and patients who have benefited from research participation, I am delighted for the opportunity to join the Alcanza network and take our research services to the next level,” said Dr. Bram Wieskopf, Founder and CEO of NGCR. “We will benefit from Alcanza’s national reach, integrated technology platforms and access to biopharma customers. Together, we’ll continue to support patients in need of access to new treatments and medications across Georgia’s expanding communities.”
