Who we are
Allied Research Society Colombia S.A.S. was founded in 2022 in Barranquilla to give international sponsors a regulated, self-contained site in a region with high disease burden and limited research infrastructure.
To carry out clinical research with local, regional and national reach, integrating biobank management and specialised apheresis services to drive biomedical progress. We connect patients with cutting-edge therapeutic alternatives and offer the scientific community and sponsors a research centre of excellence, reliability and technical quality.
To become the reference centre for clinical research, biobanking and specialised procedures in the Colombian Caribbean and nationwide — the hub of scientific leadership and the preferred strategic partner of the pharmaceutical industry, CROs and academia for running high-complexity studies, collecting biological samples and applying advanced therapies in tropical, infectious and chronic disease.
Lead clinical research in oncology, infectious disease and general medicine; guarantee the highest standards of patient safety and quality in line with SISPRO, SUPERSALUD and MINSALUD; invest in the continuous training of our team; and contribute to the community through research that transforms medicine.
Governance
Protocol review does not depend on an external board. Our institutional ethics committee is an independent body, INVIMA-certified in 2024, and reviews clinical studies, observational studies and academic work — including brochures, amendments, university protocols and student theses. It is registered with the U.S. Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) as IRB00014411 and holds an active Federalwide Assurance, FWA00034720. That in-house review shortens the path between site selection and first patient in.
