About Us

At ACRN, we continue to shape patient care by embodying the principles that drive our research, all thanks to the dedicated team that makes it all happen.

Our Story

Established in 2008, ACRN has engaged in over 80 clinical trials under the leadership of Dr. Arya. Driven by frustration over unmet medical needs and the absence of effective diagnostic, preventative, and treatment methods for his patients, Dr. Arya decided to establish a clinical trial company.
 
Through his success in the clinical trial industry, ACRN has been acknowledged as one of three Pfizer INSPIRE sites in Australia. Dr. Arya's work with ACRN not only provides a pathway to discovering optimal medical treatments for patients without conventional options but also contributes to enhancing healthcare for the broader Australian population.

Our Values

Participant safety

At ACRN, participant safety is our top priority. We adhere to rigorous protocols and the highest ethical standards to ensure the well-being of every participant. Our commitment to participant safety reflects our dedication to conducting responsible and reliable research that advances medical knowledge while prioritising the health and security of those who trust us with their participation.

Accurate sampling

Accurate sampling is a foundational value embedded in our research approach. At ACRN, we meticulously adhere to protocols to ensure data collection is of the highest quality. Our commitment to accurate sampling not only upholds scientific integrity but also enhances the precision and applicability of our study findings, contributing to the credibility of advancements in healthcare.

Improving patient care

At ACRN enhancing patient care is a central tenet of our mission. Our research endeavours are driven by a commitment to identifying innovative solutions that directly contribute to improved patient outcomes. By prioritising interventions that enhance healthcare practices, we strive to bridge gaps in treatment options, providing meaningful advancements that positively impact patient care.
