Berman Center for Outcomes and Clinical Research

The MMRF’s Berman Center for Outcomes and Clinical Research has been conducting first-class clinical trials research for more than 35 years. Dr. Reuben Berman, a pioneer in the field of cardiovascular clinical research, founded the center in 1966. Its primary mission is to empower the medical community to offer better patient care through better research.

Working with federal programs, pharmaceutical companies, managed care facilities and other research organizations, the Berman center evaluates treatments for conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, neurological disorders, diabetes, and women’s health issues including breast cancer, osteoporosis and hormone replacement therapy. Since its inception, the Berman Center has been a clinical site for more than 75 trials of varying sizes.
