Evolving is something that we know well.
TKL’s origins were in selling allergy test kits. As a natural progression, our first sites focused on allergy testing and dermatological products. We quickly became dermatological safety experts, and from there continued to grow and expand our capabilities to encompass a wide breadth of therapeutic areas.
This success gave us the opportunity to add many supplemental services that were of much benefit to our sponsors. A new trajectory began as we became a full service clinical research facility with five independently owned outpatient clinical research sites and two inpatient clinical pharmacology units. Our multiple locations are strategically placed throughout the NY/NJ metro area allowing us to tap into a very diverse volunteer population as well as making us easily accessible for sponsors and volunteers alike.
Our evolution continues. TKL Research has had remarkable longevity in the investigational research industry. Our growth and success is due to our expertise and proficiency that can not be easily replicated. We offer our sponsors a comprehensive suite of services to take you from strategy through execution and beyond. Learn more about the TKL difference.
