We're highlighting Dr. Kinan Hreib, Medical Director and Principal Investigator at Headlands Research Eastern Massachusetts (EMA).

Dr. Hreib holds an MD, MBA, and PhD from Boston University and completed his medical and neurology training at Boston University Medical Center and Boston City Hospital. His career spans decades of clinical leadership and neurological expertise, beginning with more than 20 years as Director of Vascular Neurology at Lahey Clinic.

He later served as Chief of Neurology at Mount Auburn Hospital and then as Chief Medical Officer for Baystate Health North, where he continued practicing neurology while overseeing clinical operations.

Driven by a deep commitment to patients affected by neurodegenerative diseases, Dr. Hreib brings both compassion and scientific rigor to his work at Headlands Research EMA. His leadership is central to advancing research that supports better understanding and improved treatments for neurological conditions.

We are pleased to highlight Dr. Timothy Bailey, President of Headlands Research – AMCR Institute in Escondido, California.

As an interventional endocrinologist, Dr. Bailey has served as Principal Investigator on more than 200 Phase I–IV clinical trials focused on diabetes therapies, including investigational medications, sensors, delivery devices, and automated insulin delivery (“artificial pancreas”) systems. His research has contributed to greater innovation and access in diabetes management.

Dr. Bailey has authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications and has a particular focus on medical devices, human factors research, and real-world evidence, all aimed at improving therapy adherence, persistence, and outcomes for people living with diabetes.

With nearly 40% of people with diabetes affected by kidney disease, emerging science is reshaping how we understand and treat diabetic nephropathy. In this new blog post, David Halpert, MD, Principal Investigator at JEM Research Institute, breaks down the complex pathways driving kidney damage and highlights how new therapies are moving beyond glucose and blood pressure control to target inflammation, fibrosis, and oxidative stress directly.

From the expanding roles of SGLT2 inhibitors, MRAs, and GLP-1 RAs to promising dual-agonists and novel cellular targets, the future of care is shifting toward treatments that can truly preserve kidney function and potentially alter disease progression.

Earlier this year, Lawrence Sher, MD, FAAP, FAAAA, FACAAI, Associate Medical Director of Peninsula Research Associates, a Headlands Research site, co-authored a phase 3 study evaluating the mRNA-1010 quadrivalent influenza vaccine.

Published in Vaccine, this large-scale trial demonstrated that a single 50-μg dose of mRNA-1010 elicited stronger immune responses than licensed standard-dose and high-dose influenza vaccines, with a favorable safety profile and no major safety concerns.

These findings highlight the potential of mRNA-based technology to transform seasonal influenza prevention.

A big congratulations to Heather Manley, Site Director at Clinvest, for co-authoring a new study that explores how non-traditional, community-embedded research sites, known as frontier sites, can help address the industry’s growing capacity challenges.

The research, conducted through the Site Enablement League (SEL) Task Force, shows that frontier sites offer meaningful opportunities to reach underserved populations and expand trial access. Survey findings point to clear benefits in participant diversity and community engagement, alongside operational and compliance challenges that require targeted support.

This work, published in Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, lays the foundation for developing a future industry playbook to successfully integrate frontier sites into clinical trial operations.

For Dr. Lawrence Sher, Associate Medical Director and PI at PRA, education and teamwork are at the heart of clinical research success.

“When everyone understands the science, they can teach and empower patients, and that’s when research becomes fun,” he says. “I want to laugh, I want to teach, and when challenges happen, our motto is simple: hakuna matata. We move forward together.”

At PRA, Dr. Sher and his team lead with knowledge, positivity, and collaboration, making every study a shared success.

We’re pleased to share that Christopher Romero, MD, PhD, FACP, Medical Director at Headlands Research and Principal Investigator at Headlands Research Brownsville, collaborated on a phase 2 study evaluating maridebart cafraglutide (MariTide), a novel long-acting peptide-antibody conjugate designed to treat obesity.

The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that once-monthly administration of MariTide led to substantial and sustained weight reduction in participants with obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes, and favorable effects on glycemic control.
