Velocity Clinical Research, Salt Lake City

Velocity’s Salt Lake City research site was founded in 1984 by Werner Huck as Advanced Clinical Research, the first community based clinical research center in Idaho and Utah, and acquired by Velocity in 2019. Mr. Huck was an early advocate of community-based outpatient studies. An initial model of embedding research staff in local practices evolved to stand alone research facilities. Mr. Huck and his research team participated in a large number of antibiotic trials from the 1980s until the early 2000s, addressing many unmet needs in infectious disease indications. This experience led to development of significant expertise in conduction of vaccine studies which remains a key therapeutic focus. Over the years, the Salt Lake City site has expanded its clinical research expertise into Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Women’s Health, and a variety of Family Medicine indications. By working collaboratively and developing strong relationships with area physicians and patients, this site has a broad network of study participants ranging from pediatric to geriatric demographics. In addition, this site also has access to Samoan and Latinx populations.

Located just south of Salt Lake City, this site serves the greater Jordan Valley area. It is within walking distance from Jordan Valley Medical Center and has ample parking for study volunteers. Several hub sites are available as well. This main location has capabilities for overnight stays and extended day visits. All trials are performed in accordance with ICH and FDA guidelines, and in compliance with GCP. The Velocity Salt Lake City team is committed to being a resource for study volunteers, to providing the highest quality of patient care with compassion and kindness and to advancing medicine through research.
