Pharmacology Research Institute (PRI) is an independent scientific research organization which began to conduct clinical studies for both domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies in 1975. Referrals to the Institute's three offices are made by private medical/mental health professionals, agencies, health care facilities, family members, friends, or by the individuals themselves. All of PRI's services are provided AT NO CHARGE to the public.
PRI's Mission Statement:
To provide the highest quality of service for the well being of our patients in an environment that provides professional, courteous and friendly service.
To advance knowledge in the area of pharmaceutical medicine, conducting scientifically valid and reliable research studies that contribute to the maintenance and improvement in one's health and quality of life.
To maintain an environment where teamwork and camaraderie flourish, enabling us to be productive and professional in an enjoyable atmosphere.
To promote a spirit of collaboration and involvement that encourages scientific inquiry, productivity, pride and professional development.
PRI has been involved in clinical research since the 1970s. We focus on research phases II, IIB, III, III-B, and IV.
Our staff is experienced in psychiatry, neurology, ophthalmology, rheumatology, family practice, and gerontology.

The clinical staff expertise and experience at PRI is unparalleled! Working closely with our team of Board Certified physicians, we have six masters degreed RNs with an average experience level of more than fifteen years. Our two Senior Clinical Research Coordinators, Barbara B. Katz, R.N., C.C.R.C. and Judy L. Morrissey, R.N., M.S.N., have nearly 40 years of combined clinical research experience. PRI's utilization of a clinical team concept, whereby our physicians work together with our masters degreed Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists and Clinical Research Coordinators, enables the Institute to provide the most optimal, yet appropriate, research experience for all of our study participants. Moreover, the reliability and validity of data generated by the PRI research team is consistently categorized as being of the utmost quality.
In an era when so many organizations are scaling down on the education and experience levels required in order to work in research, PRI has held steadfast to its core values and competencies. We believe that our adherence to these high standards uniquely and consistently positions us to provide both our program participants and our grant sponsors with the best research experience possible! We thank you for your time and consideration.
PRI's offices are conveniently and strategically located in the San Fernando Valley (population of 1.7 million), the Los Angeles Harbor area (population of 3.3 million), and Orange County area (population of 2.8 million). Each population base is demographically distinct, ranging from 22% to 64% non-white in race. Similar diversity in age, education, language, and income can also be targeted for special studies.
