"The series is in its sixth year and has brought
to campus individuals with national and international recognition
as leaders in the field of pharmaceutical discovery and
development — from academic, industry and the
federal regulatory authorities," said Stephen Sonstein,
director of EMU's Clinical Research Administration Program. "The
series has been open to students, faculty and individuals
from the community who have an interest in the area of
clinical research and pharmaceutical development."
The Distinguished Speaker Series is sponsored this year
by the EMU Chapter of the Drug Information Association
(www.diahome.org).
The association is an international professional society
with a mission to provide a neutral global forum for the
exchange of information relating to the drug development
process. Eastern Michigan is one of the first two student
chapters chartered by the organization.
Confirmation of speakers for the March and April segments
of the series were not set at press time. The final
two speakers will lecture at St. Joseph's Hospital Education
Center Auditorium, the traditional location for this series.
The address is 4936 W. Clark Rd., in Superior Township.
This series is free and discussions are open to EMU students,
faculty and the community. For more information, call Sonstein
at 487-1238 or e-mail him at stephen.sonstein@emich.edu
