Evolution Research Group (ERG), an independent clinical research site company, with an expertise in early- and late-stage neuroscience drug development, has acquired Rochester, NY-based Finger Lakes Clinical Research (FLCR), a clinical research facility specializing in pediatric and adult central nervous system trials for major national and international pharmaceutical firms.
Founded and directed by Principal Investigator Sarah D. Atkinson, MD, FLCR has conducted trials across a broad range of illnesses, including anxiety disorders, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other mental illnesses since its founding in 2002.
