Gwinnett Clinical Research Center

What is Clinical Research?

Clinical pharmacology research is the process whereby medications are tested and approved for use in the treatment of various medical conditions. All medications must pass through prolonged, rigorous testing prior to their approval for prescription use in the U.S. population by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In order to obtain such approval, pharmaceutical companies ask physicians to recruit willing patients with medical conditions that are expected to respond to new medications. Hence, clinical pharmacology research offers patients the opportunity to experience the effects of new drugs prior to their release to the general public.

Gwinnett Clinical Research Center has been performing studies, assisting in the testing and development of new dermatologic medications for over 20 years. Some of the major advancements in dermatologic therapy have been offered to and experienced by our patients, over the years. The Research Center, located in our Snellville office, is owned and operated by Dr. Joel S. Shavin and Dr. Jonathan S. Weiss. They are assisted by two Research Coordinators, Linda Davis, MA, CRC, and Lesley McNeil, RN, CRC. All studies are conducted under the guidelines of Good Clinical Practices (GCPs), under Institutional Review Board (IRB) oversight, and according to the rules and regulations of the FDA.
