Our Director and Principal Investigator, Dr. Robin Kroll, is regularly on-site and personally supervises all aspects of every study. Either she or one of her Sub-Investigators is available at any time.

We utilize central IRBs at the sponsors' request, and we are not under the jurisdiction of a local IRB.
