Headlands Research has acquired AMCR Institute, which has been in operation for more than 20 years. The site’s team brings experience in metabolic, endocrine, and medical device research to the rapidly growing clinical research site network.
Neither company disclosed the deal's financial terms.
The acquisition of AMCR Institute, now known as Headlands Research AMCR Institute, will enable the company to expand its clinical research site network to support more clinical trials and provide access to investigational therapies to a diverse, representative population. Headlands Research recently launched one new clinical research site and acquired two additional established sites: Headlands Research Detroit serves multiple therapeutic areas, including Alzheimer’s disease and vaccines; Headlands Research Eastern Massachusetts specializes in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, and Clinvest Research specializes in chronic diseases including migraine and arthritis.
“The AMCR Institute team brings deep knowledge and years of experience to Headland Research’s priority therapeutic areas,” Headlands Research CEO Kyle Burtnett said. “Metabolic and endocrine disorders are highly prevalent, so effective treatments have the potential to make a large impact. The addition of AMCR Institute supports Headland Research’s goal of bringing innovative treatments to those who need them most.”
Led by principal investigator (PI) Dr. Timothy S. Bailey, the San Diego–based clinical research site specializes in metabolic, endocrine, and other chronic conditions such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes and obesity. Bailey is a board-certified endocrinologist and is certified by the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP). He and his staff have worked with thousands of volunteers in phase I-IV trials and have extensive experience with the evaluation of medical devices such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs).
“Headlands Research and AMCR Institute have a mutual dedication to accelerate access to life-changing treatments through excellence in clinical research,” Bailey stated. “As a participant-centric facility, AMCR Institute appreciates the human factor of clinical research, a quality that Headlands Research also models. We are excited about the benefits the site network brings to the future capabilities of our facility and to our participant community.”
