On-site N-13 ammonia production — unique in Miami
Through our qualified imaging partner at MedSquare Health, N-13 ammonia is produced on-site for cardiac PET — the only program of its kind in the Miami market. With a 10-minute half-life, N-13 must be made minutes before injection: a radiopharmacy capability no other Miami site can offer.

Powered by amavita Heart and Vascular Health® — the largest independent cardiovascular practice in Miami
Sponsors get enrollment from a continuously-recruiting cardiology practice with a high cardiovascular patient volume — not a CRO sourcing from referral networks. Our PIs see trial-eligible patients in clinic every day, screen them in real time, and convert them in the same building.
amavita Heart and Vascular Health® is the largest cardiology practice in Miami owned by a private physician (Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark, MD, P.A.) — independent of any academic medical system. That ownership structure is the enrollment moat: in-house patient flow no competing Miami site has.
In-house
Continuous CV patient pipeline from the parent practice
No referrals
Eliminates the slow, costly CRO referral-network bottleneck
Same building
Trial conversion happens at the point of cardiology care
Why Amavita
Six reasons sponsors choose Amavita Research as their Miami site partner.
IAOCR GCSA Recertified May 2026
Sponsor audit prep, condensed. GCSA is the only ISO-style site accreditation in clinical research. We were recertified on 13 May 2026 (valid through 28 February 2027). Your monitor does not have to verify what an independent body has already certified. See /certifications for full scope.
ICH-GCP E6 (R3) Compliant
Already operating to E6(R3). When your protocol crosses a regulator's desk, our quality systems are not a question -- they are a footnote.
Blue-Chip Track Record
Trusted by 20+ sponsors including Alnylam, Pfizer, Pharmacosmos, and JK07 Bio. The same sponsors keep coming back for their second and third study with us -- that is the data point that matters.
One research suite and a dedicated ASC
Current research operations run from one North Miami Beach research suite at 100 NW 170 Street. The dedicated cardiovascular ASC is at 9408 SW 87th Ave Suite 303. Kendall is opening — it is not a current office.
Diverse Miami Population
Hispanic, Haitian, and Caribbean recruitment baked in. With FDA Diversity Action Plans now mandatory for Phase 3 cardiovascular trials, our zip code is a regulatory moat -- not a marketing line.
New-sponsor first-touch
New-sponsor first-touch, CDA, and NDA go to Julio G. Martinez-Clark, CEO, Amavita Research Services, LLC, julio@amavita.health. Julio signs CDAs. Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark is a principal investigator only. After a study is awarded, Nereisy Alonso, Sr CRC, COO owns study operations: monitors and start-up logistics.
A Senior PI with a track record of FDA-pivotal device trial leadership
Our Senior Principal Investigator Dr. William W. O'Neill, MD, FACC has served as National Principal Investigator on the Edwards PARTNER, Protect II, and Protect IV trials — a track record of FDA-pivotal device trial leadership matched by few investigators in the United States.
