Virtual Biotech and your Contract Research Organization

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Over the past decade the creation of the virtual pharma or biotech has been on the rise.  The amount of time it takes to get a drug on the market is estimated to take an average of 10 years.  With this in mind the emergence of the “virtual” pharma or biotech company has emerged.  Virtual companies are generally run by a few core people with all other services outsourced.  This allows the company to pick and choose, in an a la carte style, how and who they will go to for services.

Here comes to play Veristat.  As a full service Contract Research Organization, with over 15 years of experience, Veristat too has grown over the years to become a choice of some “virtual companies”. Veristat generally starts off with these companies offering strategic statistical and medical writing consulting.  As the company grows, so do the service offerings Veristat helps manage for it.

Veristat invites your company to look into our services, virtual or not, and how we can provide you with the top notch service in your clinical trial.  Please contact Cindy Henderson at info@veristat.com
