Company History

The Atlanta Center for Medical Research’s founder, Dr. Robert A. Riesenberg, earned his MD in psychiatry in 1975, when biological psychiatric research was in its infancy. He was exhilarated by the possibility that many intractable psychiatric illnesses could be treated with medication. What medicines might help people suffering from schizophrenia or depression? Might there be a better way to diagnose and help those suffering from PTSD? These questions and many others fascinated Dr. Riesenberg, and the opportunity to peer deeply into human-drug interaction was irresistible.

Dr. Riesenberg initially divided his time between private psychiatric practice and research, but as his medical research business grew, he was soon able to devote himself entirely to research. He began assembling a research team of the nation’s top research investigators, doctors, nurses, coordinators, pharmacists, technicians, and research assistants.

ACMR was initially exclusively dedicated to biological psychiatric research, but it soon broadened its focus to include all medical research concerned with the central nervous system. Today, ACMR brings its expertise to all areas of medical research from phase 0/1 first-in-human trials all the way through phase 4 trials of both medical and behavioral treatments.

ACMR was soon one of the top medical research institutions in the country. Five times now, ACMR has relocated to larger facilities to accommodate growing demand, and each time it has taken the opportunity to raise industry standards for what a medical research facility should be. The latest relocation is by far the organization’s most ambitious yet. Rebuilt from the ground up in a former hospital, the 150,000-square-foot Atlanta Center for Medical Research is the physical manifestation of our more than three decades of research expertise, with every design decision made with research needs in mind.
