Huntington Study Group Achieves 100th Credentialed Research Site Milestone
Rochester, NY, March 25, 2019 --(PR.com)-- The Huntington Study Group (HSG), a world leader in spearheading research and conducting clinical trials in Huntington disease (HD), is excited to announce that it has credentialed Inland Northwest Research, LLC as the 100th HSG site in North America.

“On behalf of myself and our site, I wish to thank the committee for their consideration and review,” said Dr. Jason Aldred, of Inland Northwest Research. “We very much look forward to working with HSG on behalf of patients and families living with HD.”

In addition to the 100 HSG credentialed sites in the United States and Canada, the HSG has another 22 credentialed research sites worldwide. To receive HSG credentialed status, a research site must be involved with the care of individuals with HD, have a demonstrated history of conducting HD trials or research studies, maintain staff who are experienced in HD, and include an HSG-credentialed investigator and coordinator.

“The landscape of Huntington disease continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with many new potential treatments at or coming to clinical trials,” said Dr. Andrew Feigin, HSG Chair. “The Huntington Study group is pleased to welcome Inland Northwest Research as our 100th credentialed site in North America. The depth and breadth of coverage that our sites provide to the HD community is evidence of the HSG’s commitment to growing to meet the needs for HD clinical research, while positioning the HSG to help support future widespread delivery of these novel therapies.”
