Congratulations to Lucas Berry for Earning SOCRA Certification

The CCRP is an internationally recognized certification that validates a person’s competency in conducting clinical studies that comply with FDA and HHS regulations and that follow Good Clinical Practice (GCP). It is conferred to experienced research professionals who pass a comprehensive exam.

With his CCRP, Lucas brings strengthened regulatory and data‑management expertise to every project. That expertise helps accelerate study start‑up, improve the reliability of study data, and — most importantly — enhance protections for the patients who volunteer for the lab’s research.

Lucas on earning the CCRP:

“First, I must offer my deepest gratitude to everyone in the OTO‑COATI family, especially my mentor Gintas. Earning the CCRP designation from SOCRA wouldn’t have been possible without their trust and guidance. I’m lucky to work with brilliant people who are — or aspire to be — clinicians and scientists. While they work to invent new ways to detect cancer during surgery or to improve widely used diagnostic instruments, I am excited to guide them through the minefield of research regulations and processes. These types of collaborative efforts help bring great ideas from bench to bedside, and being able to help my team in this way is a tremendous privilege. I pursued the CCRP so I can do an even better job of it.”
