Individuals from the corporate, higher education and government
sectors will discuss challenges faced by the pharmaceutical
industry at this year's Clinical Research Administration
Distinguished Speaker Series. The fourth annual version
of the series will again take place at St. Joseph's Hospital
Education Center Auditorium.
"Each year, the Clinical Research Administration Program
— with support from the clinical and corporate communities
and the College of Health and Human Services — brings
to the University prominent individuals whose expertise
in the area of pharmaceutical research and development
compliments the program's curriculum," said Stephen Sonstein,
coordinator of EMU's clinical research administration program. "These
presentations should be of interest to anyone involved
in basic or clinical research in the health-related disciplines,
as well as to those associated with the pharmaceutical
industry."
