Phase-up Research

Phase Up Research is a small private healthcare and clinical research consulting company focused on helping hospitals, health systems, and healthcare providers build and optimize clinical research infrastructure. The company appears to provide strategic advisory services around research operations, growth, billing, compliance, and program development rather than developing its own therapeutics. Public references also indicate involvement in a joint venture around CAPTure, a web-based platform for automating clinical trial billing and compliance workflows. Phase Up Research is associated with founder Shirley Trainor-Thomas and is based in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. For a biotech analyst, this is best characterized as a healthcare research operations consultancy serving provider organizations, not a drug-development biotech.
