Stella Stergiopoulos, Senior Project Manager, Tufts University School of Medicine

Contract research organizations (CROs) across service areas are proliferating globally. The Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (Tufts CSDD) has completed an initial study looking at key geographic CRO hubs that encompass a diverse set of global and local contract service companies that provide a range of non-clinical, analytical, clinical and commercial services. The results of this study and their implications will be discussed.
