Merck to Speak at Pharmica Consulting’s CRO Management Conference
Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) July 02, 2013 -- In 2013 the pharmaceutical industry will continue the downsizing of drug development operations, placing an ever greater reliance on strategic CRO alliances and collaborative technologies. As sponsors increase their dependency on CROs, the need for transparency between the two will increase as well. To explore this dynamic, Pharmica Consulting will be hosting its CRO Management Conference, which will focus on how sponsors and CROs can best collaborate. Also to be discussed is clinical operations technology and the impact it has on the overall partnership, and the future of integrating technology as a means towards enhancing the sponsor-CRO relationship. Dawn Furey, Director of Global Agreements at Merck, has been added to the agenda as a speaker.
“Dawn has worked in many of the different roles at Merck whose function includes interaction with CRO partners,” said Eric Lake, Partner with Pharmica Consulting. “Now that she’s the Director of Global agreements, she sees more of the strategic elements of partnerships now. Put all of that together and you’re going to get an incredibly valuable talk from her.”
“Dawn is going to be talking about a lot of useful, practical aspects of working with CROs,” said Matt Kiernan, Partner with Pharmica Consulting. “Pharmica has always been a metrics- and data-focused company, and Dawn’s presentation will be in part about using historical data to select the best sites and develop more predictable study timelines. I’m sure everyone will want to hear about that.”
“Dawn will also be discussing some other important details, such as site preparation and training,” adds Maggie Adamski, Consultant at Pharmica. “Getting a study up and running is hard enough as it is, and partnering with a CRO only adds to the complexity. But as long as everyone is on the same page, things can really work out well.” Those interested in learning more about Pharmica Consulting’s upcoming forum or service offerings can visit http://www.PharmicaConsulting.com.
