Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation

Oklahoma City’s Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) conducts many clinical trial studies to understand and discover the side effects of various therapies and drugs as well as how illnesses are contracted. It currently researches ways to better make a diagnosis of lupus, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, brain damage, children’s diseases and Alzheimer’s disease.

OMRF strives to achieve its research with utmost kindness and compassion for its clinical trial participants. OMRF was named one of the nine Autoimmunity Centers of Excellence in 2009. It was given $57 million in grants to study and create new drugs and treatments for autoimmune diseases. With this money, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation also focuses on studying “orphan diseases” that are too rare in number of diagnoses for other clinical trial establishments to justify the necessary expenses for their research.
