About Gooseberry Research:
At Gooseberry Research, our mission is simple but transformative: to make clinical trial participation more accessible, convenient, and patient-focused, ultimately accelerating the development of life-changing therapies for those in need. We leverage decentralized clinical trial models, which allow patients to participate in studies from their homes, instead of traveling to research sites. We believe that no one should be excluded from the opportunity to participate in clinical research simply because of geographic barriers or logistical challenges. We conduct training of clinical research staff at our central site in Atlanta, GA and deploy them to patient locations thus providing rare disease patients with access to a passionate, caring, multi-disciplinary team conducting clinical research with expertise and compassion, and always to the highest ethical standards
