About Panthera

Who are we?
At Panthera Clinical Research, we are focused on developing medicines for future generations, by running clinical trials at our 5 dedicated sites across the UK. Clinical research and the development of drugs and treatment would not be possible without volunteers taking part in clinical trials. At Panthera Clinical Research, our 5 core values reflect the experience that volunteers have whilst being involved in clinical trials.
The Panthera team is widely experienced within research, consisting of specialist consultants, Doctors, Nurses, and admin staff. Our multidisciplinary team deliver the highest standard of care to all our volunteers making sure you are safe, comfortable, and confident during your clinical research journey.
