It’s probably surprising to many people that Rochester, NY, is home to one of the leading research facilities in the nation. At the state-of-the-art Skin Search facility, our experienced team conducts clinical research involving skin, hair, nail, and joint conditions. The 2,000-square-foot facility is dedicated to research, which means it’s fully equipped to conduct Phase II through Phase IV clinical research trials. Skin Search occasionally conducts Phase I trials.
These advanced research trials test the effectiveness of drugs or devices and pave the way to approval or clearance by the FDA.
The atmosphere of our research facility, which is located in the same building as Dermatology Associates of Rochester, is calm and quiet. The facility includes:
3 exam rooms
4 coordinator workstations
photography room
locked drug storage
dedicated monitor space
conference rooms
lab
For patients participating in clinical research trials, we have WiFi access and free onsite parking. Our facility is close to restaurants and hotels, and both Uber and Lyft serve the area.
