INNOVADERM CRO IS NOW INDERO.

Your Focused Dermatology CRO

Specialized, hands-on support for your dermatology studies. We’re all in.

Is Now

For over two decades, Innovaderm has been the leading dermatology CRO and one of the largest dermatology Clinical Research Units (CRU) in North America. As we continue to grow and support immune-mediated diseases—including those in rheumatology, a therapeutic area inextricably linked to dermatology—we have rebranded the CRO side of our business to Indero. Our CRU will retain the name Innovaderm and will continue to conduct dermatology studies.

Turning Science Into Efficient Dermatology Trials

Dermatology is a diverse field of research with over 3,000 skin pathologies, greatly impacting patients’ quality of life. Many skin conditions require new treatment options—and Indero has been dedicated to this need for over 25 years. With deep medical expertise and extensive operational experience, we can help you design a study that meets scientific objectives with the well-being of patients in mind.
