Meet Southern Star Research at the HNE Research & Innovation Forum 2026
Southern Star Research will be attending the Hunter New England Region Clinical and Health Services Research and Innovation Forum 2026, taking place on 29–30 October 2026 at the Hunter Medical Research Institute in New Lambton, NSW.
The two-day Forum brings together clinicians, academics, managers and executives to showcase clinical and health services research, innovation and quality improvement initiatives, share knowledge, build research capability and develop new collaborations.
Supporting Practical Clinical Trial Planning and Delivery
Southern Star Research brings practical clinical trial experience with strong investigator and research site relationships to support study planning and delivery.
Our teams assess feasibility, review site capabilities and recruitment potential, and consider how protocol requirements will work in practice before a study moves into execution. Senior-led expertise and early site input help identify operational challenges, participant pathway considerations and potential recruitment barriers, supporting more informed planning and efficient study start-up.
Throughout delivery, we maintain close engagement with investigators and research sites to support clear communication, timely issue resolution and consistent study execution.
How We Support Your Clinical Development
- Proactive Partnership: We commit to engaging intellectually and energetically with our clients’ challenges. Our teams apply foresight, critical thinking and domain expertise to anticipate obstacles and contribute meaningfully to the trial’s success.
- Embedded Quality: We define quality not just by compliance, but by the consistent application of judgment, rigour and thoughtful planning throughout all stages of the clinical trial process.
- Tailored Execution: Our flexible, hands-on approach means your study is designed for both scientific and commercial success, tailored to your strategy, timelines and endpoints.
As a mid-sized CRO with strong early-phase capabilities, Southern Star Research supports first-in-human, first-in-patient and Phase I–II clinical trials, as well as later-phase development.
Our focus is on generating high-quality data that meets international regulatory expectations and supports confident decisions as programs progress towards later-stage development, partnerships, licensing and future investment.
