Our Story
Conducting Clinical Trials for Over 30 Years
Velocity Clinical Research, Gardena founded as the National Research Institute, a five site research network in southern California. Gardena offers a wide range of expertise including diabetes, NASH, vaccines, psychiatry, women’s health, and pediatric trials. Gardena’s experienced staff maintains high quality standards and enrollment on all their trials.
Located outside of Los Angeles, the Gardena site is easily accessible for patients through public transport. The Gardena team is bilingual allowing the site to recruit a diverse patient population. The local hospital neighbors the site.
The Gardena team is committed to being a resource for study volunteers, to providing the highest quality of patient care with compassion and kindness and to advancing medicine through research. By becoming part of the Velocity Clinical Research organization in 2021, they added new efficiencies and integration to their already comprehensive approaches to conducting clinical trials.
