Why You Need Galiz Research
in Your Clinical Trial
Galiz Research brings a rare combination of investigator ownership, organizational stability, and CNS research depth to South Florida. Principal Investigator Dr. Jose Gamez has owned and operated the site since 2007, building on more than 25 continuous years of clinical trial experience.

Why Galiz Stands Apart
Investigator-Owned Leadership
Unlike sites dependent on rotating staff or corporate CRO models, Dr. Gamez reflects the sustained vision and accountability of an investigator who has invested his career in research integrity and sponsor partnership.
Staff Continuity & Protocol Quality
Dr. Gamez serves as a practicing rater on all trials, ensuring direct oversight of protocol consistency. Supported by sub-investigator Dr. Shlomo Fiscal (in clinical research since 2001, at Galiz since 2011) and a dedicated rater team, this continuity translates to lower screen-fail rates, higher retention, and faster enrollment cycles.
Relationship-Driven Patient Access
25+ years of referral networks with community psychiatrists, neurologists, memory clinics, and behavioral health facilities across South Florida yield a pre-screened, medically engaged, proven-compliant population.
Rare Inpatient Psychiatric Capability
Partnerships with Southern Winds Hospital (28+ years) and Fort Lauderdale Behavioral Health Center enable inpatient schizophrenia and acute CNS trials, a capacity very few South Florida sites can offer.
FDA Diversity Support
Patient population reflects regional demographics: 60% Hispanic/Latino, 25% African American, 15% Caucasian. Fully bilingual operations remove recruitment and adherence barriers.
Top Enrollers
Galiz Research and Dr. Gamez have been named a top enrolling site across multiple sponsor study newsletters, demonstrating consistent excellence in patient recruitment and trial execution.
