The conference convened more than 160 attendees from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and a panel of more than 70 expert speakers.

“I felt honored to share our expertise at the CRO/site level as we continue to support our European clients with respect to new paradigms, partnerships and service models,” said Rusch. “We have had a steady presence in Europe having collaborated with many companies over the past decade. This is what motivated Vince & Associates to sponsor this valuable conference and share our expertise and the story of our evolution.”

Dr. Brad Vince, president and medical director of Vince & Associates, stated, “Vince & Associates is able to support European sponsors with the successful recruitment and execution of complex special population protocols from human abuse liability to adaptive trial design in various Phase I patient populations.”
