Clinical Research Facilities and Capabilities

Infrastructure and expertise aligned to complex protocols.

Our two-site network supports Phase I-IV research with bilingual teams, dedicated clinical space, sample processing, temperature-controlled storage, coordinated specialty access, and centralized study operations.

Operational performance

Designed to move from selection to enrollment efficiently

WCR coordinates feasibility, startup, approvals, translations, and site activation across Miami Lakes and Vega Baja.

2 to 4 weeksAverage study startup timeMeasured from receipt of a complete startup package and dependent on sponsor, CRO, contract, budget, IRB, translation, and vendor readiness.
1.5 monthsAverage from site selection to first participant enrolledThis average includes startup, required IRB approvals, and translations.
