Princeton, NJ – Oct. 28, 2019 – WIRB-Copernicus Group®’s (WCG™) Clinical Services Division today announced that several of its thought leaders will be presenting at MAGI’s Clinical Research Conference – 2019 West, which will be held from Oct. 27-30 at the Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas, NV.
“WCG considers knowledge sharing to be an important mandate emanating from its leadership role in improving the quality and efficiency of clinical research while maintaining the highest standards of human subject protections,” said WCG Executive Vice President, Site Division Jonathan Zung, PhD. “We look forward to MAGI West and the opportunity it affords to discuss some of our latest research and on-site experience with our peers.”
WCG’s featured presenters will include Chief Compliance Officer David Forster, JD, MA, CIP and Vice President, Institutional Review Board (IRB) Compliance David Borasky, MPH, CIP, who are participating in a panel discussion of IRB outsourcing that will examine past performance and review strategies to address both current and future challenges (session W810).

Meanwhile, Dr. Zung will be spearheading a couple of lively debates, focusing on how to start your own cultural revolution (session F732), and whether we are heading to heaven, hell or purgatory (session P147).
