About us

Trident Clinical Research Services is a physician-led organization founded by the highly respected and board-certified nephrologist, Dr. Edgard Vera. With over two decades of clinical and research experience, Dr. Vera is known for his dedication to patient care, scientific rigor, and operational excellence. His leadership has positioned Trident as a trusted partner in the clinical research space.

Trident operates across three core service lanes:

1. Late-Phase Clinical Research Site – conducting high-quality, patient-focused research across nephrology, cardiology, and internal medicine, with an emphasis on diversity and real-world data generation.

2. Clinical Research Consulting – providing expert protocol review, feasibility insight, and strategic input informed by Dr. Vera’s deep clinical and site-level knowledge.

3. Site Operational Support – delivering tailored support services, including staff training, workflow optimization, and regulatory guidance to help sites succeed.

Now merging with Cornerstone Clinical Research Services, Trident is expanding its reach and capabilities—bringing together two mission-driven teams to build a stronger, more connected research network that serves both patients and sponsors with integrity and excellence.
