Austin Clinical Research Professionals
On this week’s episode I sat down with the founder and CEO of Austin Clinical Research Professionals, Dana Austin. This company provides clinical technologists and researchers to conduct or support clinical trials. With a background in cardiology nursing, Dana and her team have particular expertise in studies around hypertension and diabetes, both of which are significant risk factors for heart disease.
Austin Clinical Research Professionals also offers certified CEU training to meet credentialing needs of existing research scientists and staff. Additionally, Dana is certified to serve as a monitor for clinical trials to provide oversight and feedback to sponsors as well as being qualified to sit on ethics committees for studies.
Dana shared how individuals in the community can participate in available studies to get access to care that might not otherwise be available. We talked about some studies she had been able to be a part of that ultimately resulted in helpful medications being made available to the public.
