AVROK
Patient Centricity At Our Core
Avrok's commitment extends beyond just our words. We demonstrate our values in action by incorporating every patient's perspective and aligning each project accordingly.
Prioritizing Patients
We engage with non-profit and patient organizations early in research planning, leveraging their deep understanding of disease limitations to inform and shape accommodating research strategies.
Safety & Compliance
We pride ourselves on adhering to the strictest safety precautions possible to ensure a positive experience. All sample collection protocols are reviewed and signed off by the U.S. Internal Review Board.
Minimizing Burden
We prioritize patient flexibility by bringing research opportunities directly to their door and on their terms, ensuring convenient engagement without the constraints of long-term clinical trials.
Transparency
We're committed to enabling communication & fostering an environment where research teams learn from patients, and patients feel comfortable and confident participating in research.
The Impact of Lived Experience
"When I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition at the age of 16, my first two thoughts were “Is there any research taking place for my condition?” and “How can I get involved?”. It wasn’t until I started learning more about my condition from Non-Profit & Patient Advocacy Organizations that I realized how crucial my participation and voice could be to advance therapeutic developments for my community.
I’m proud to be a part of Avrok because we all understand the power and importance of a patient's lived experience. We are dedicated to not only providing research opportunities to those living with chronic illnesses but to making them accessible and minimizing the burden of participation for anyone who is interested"
