The expert team delivers stage appropriate biomarker, bioanalytical and clinical research strategies, scientific oversight of assay lifecycle management, study data analysis and interpretation, as well as support for regulatory interactions and document writing. “The pace of growth across Translational Sciences has exceeded our expectations,” Dr. Stevenson comments. “This speaks to the demand for experts who can deliver across all stages of drug development and traverse the bioanalytical, biomarker and regulatory arenas with equal facility. With the addition of Dr. Stebbins, our Translational Sciences team, which also includes VP of Biomarker Sciences, John Allinson, now brings more than 100 years of collective experience to bear on our clients’ projects. Combined with our exceptional technical and laboratory expertise, we are redefining the CRO partnership landscape for our clients around the world.” Dr. Stevenson will be presenting on “Preventing Misguided Guidance – Putting Biomarker Assay Validation in Context” on April 23, 2020 as part of Immunologix Laboratories’ webinar series.
