Clinical Research & Physicians

Clinical Development combines all activities which are focused on the preparation, analysis, and safety of a trial or study. Those working within the space are entrusted to determine the efficacy and/or dosing of the drug in development. This is usually split into 4 different stages; I-IV.

This coincides with Clinical Operations, which is key to the delivery of clinical trails for the drug development pipeline. Without this function, clinical research studies could not be effectively conducted. Professionals in this sector are responsible for designing, planning, and executing Phase I to Phase III clinical trails, as well as Phase IV post-marketing surveillance.

Scientific & Preclinical
