The Alliance for Multispecialty Research, an integrated medical research site organization, has opened its newest clinical research center in Dearborn, its 28th in the U.S.
“AMR continues to grow its footprint and patient network by providing access to clinical research,” says Kari Delahunty, COO of AMR. “We are thrilled to offer the highest levels of care and quality to this diverse community. AMR is committed to serving patients and research sponsors to drive development of medical cures and treatments of tomorrow.”
AMR currently has two investigators to conduct clinical research trials in the Dearborn community — Dr. Elias H. Kassab and Dr. Ashok K. Kondur.
Kassab serves as principal Investigator. He completed his graduate training and fellowship in cardiology throughout Michigan after completing his education at Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium in 1982. In addition to clinical research, his experience includes cardiology, endovascular, and vascular management.
“Dr. Kassab is an accomplished and highly regarded physician and researcher who brings decades of experience to AMR,” says Jill Hiebert, general manager of AMR. “We look forward to expanding our reach in the Dearborn community and surrounding areas with Dr. Kassab and Dr. Kondur leading the way.”
Kondur is the sub investigator for the site. Kondur is board-certified in PET imaging, nuclear medicine, vascular medicine, and coronary, peripheral, structural, and endovascular Interventions. Both Kondur and Kassab will focus primarily on cardiology clinical trials as well as conducting trials focused on hypercholesterolemia, obesity, and vaccines.
Sally Alkhay will manage the location’s launch and daily operations. The site is located at 5250 Auto Club Drive, Suite 310B in Dearborn.
“Establishing this site as part of AMR’s growth strategy and supporting the advancement of medicine are crucial parts of my new role,” Alkhayat says.
