The Acomb site is currently running late stage clinical trials and will be involved in many more including liver, respiratory, cardiovascular disease and flu vaccines.
Panthera works with 10 out of the top 12 pharma companies and seven of the top contract research organisations.
It has six clinics across the UK and reports a huge database of patients who want to take part in clinical trials.
Panthera’s York clinic is involving specialist physcians and GPs to participate in the latest groundbreaking clinical research.
Patient volunteers who take part in the clinical trials gain many benefits such as regular health assessments, access to the latest groundbreaking treatments, and help advance medical understanding for future generations.
Chris Dodd, Panthera’s Chief Commercial Officer said: “Our newest clinical research site in York has got off to a flying start.
“We are the first company to open a dedicated research site in York and the support we have received from the local community and our partners has been fantastic and enabled us to successfully enol patients onto ground breaking clinical trials very quickly.
“For the York site to be ranked as one of the top clinical trial sites in the UK on its first study is a huge achievement and testament to the hard work of our team. We look forward to continuing at the same pace and bringing the very best clinical research and significant healthcare investment to the community of York”.
