Founded in 1941 in Birmingham, Alabama, Southern Research is a scientific and engineering contract research organization that conducts drug discovery and development, environmental and occupational hazard characterization, advanced engineering research in materials and systems development, and energy and environmental technologies research. SR supports clients and partners in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, biotechnology, defense, aerospace, environmental, and energy industries. We deliver quality results and a quality experience. That means we’re rapid, reliable, and responsive. With over 50 years of experience, we recognized that no two test articles are ever the same. That’s why our approach has always been, and still is, to focus on each client’s individual needs. Our scientists and study directors will take the time to understand your program and the specific risks and liabilities you are concerned about. Then, after we fully understand your needs, we will work with you to develop the most appropriate, regulatory-compliant testing plan. But the quality experience doesn’t stop when the study protocol is signed. Our nationally recognized scientific and quality assurance teams will execute the plan to our exacting operational standards, ensuring we generate the highest quality data and reports. Throughout the study, be it one day or two years, your Southern Research study director will be readily accessible and will proactively communicate the status of your project.
