SITE PROFILE

JOSHA Research is housed in a historic building partially owned by the company. It underwent extensive renovations recently and is now a first-world center of excellence in clinical research.The site specializes in Phase II and III studies and has conducted more than 90 clinical trials with great success in the past 12 years.
We have been the globally highest recruiter for several international studies, although quality has never been compromised for quantity (all personnel has an up-to-date GCP certificate). JOSHA Research has had several FDA, MCC and Sponsor audits with minor or no findings. It is a matter of pride for us to put the safety and quality of life of our patients before anything else.
JOSHA Research started a CAB (Community Advisory Board) in 2009, with people of different interests serving on the Board. We have monthly meetings where issues of mutual interest to the community are discussed. We regularly organize community outreaches to teach the communities about the importance of clinical research.
With the help of our recruitment team, we are able to reach hundreds of possible subjects per month for enrollment into clinical trials.
All Standard Operations Procedures are regularly reviewed, and all personnel is trained on a regular basis.
