About Stryde

The "+" In SMO+ Is The Medical Brain

Stryde Research was founded by a medical monitor and a clinical operations specialist who kept seeing the same gap: sites with medical depth but messy operations, or smooth operations with no scientific judgment. We built the site network that has both. It started in DFW and now spans Texas, Louisiana, and NJ/NY.

Our Mission

Bring the latest medical advancements to local communities through trusted physician relationships, and never lose sight of the human story behind every data point. Today that means 1.5M+ patients across 100+ specialty clinics, served by 20+ dedicated physicians who choose research because we made it possible to choose.

Why It Matters To Us

What Humanized Clinical Research Means To Us

Research done where patients already feel at home, explained in language they actually use, run by physicians they already trust, and never losing sight of the person behind every data point. It is the reason the company exists and the test every decision has to pass.
