Beginnings
Where It All Started
Atum Medical Research was founded in 2020 in response to a pressing need for more coordinated, ethical, and efficient clinical trial support within Romania’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. Our founders—experts in clinical operations, regulatory affairs, and patient engagement—recognized that fragmented processes and inconsistent standards were hindering progress in medical research. They envisioned a different model: one where regulatory expertise, operational excellence, and patient advocacy are not treated as separate elements, but are fully integrated into a single, unified approach. This vision became the foundation of Atum Medical Research—an organization built to bridge gaps, foster collaboration, and deliver results that benefit both science and society.

Approach
Driven by Structure. Focused on Patients.
01
Strategic Alignment
We begin by aligning all stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, investigators, and institutions—around clear objectives and expectations. This includes strategic planning, regulatory consultation, and early identification of potential risks. By establishing shared goals from the start, we build a strong foundation for successful collaboration and long-term outcomes.
02
Operational Readiness
Once the strategy is in place, we focus on site readiness. This phase includes feasibility assessments, training, documentation, and system integration. We ensure that each participating site and investigator is equipped with the tools, information, and resources needed to comply with study protocols and regulatory guidelines. Preparation is the key to avoiding delays and maintaining consistency across all trial locations.
03
Study Execution
In the execution phase, our team takes a hands-on role in coordinating site activities, monitoring data collection, and overseeing patient engagement. We apply standardized procedures and digital solutions to enhance data accuracy, ensure protocol adherence, and respond quickly to any operational challenges. Every decision during this phase is made with the patient’s safety and the study’s integrity in mind.
04
Continuous Support
Clinical research is a continuous process, and we remain involved long after a study launches. We provide ongoing regulatory support, real-time troubleshooting, compliance monitoring, and performance optimization. Our clients trust us to stay ahead of regulatory changes, anticipate operational roadblocks, and drive study progress—no matter how complex the project.
