ARO Coffee Hour Presented by the Education Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n

About: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Pursuing a career in academia has been a fulfilling and wonderful experience for many scientists. There is a growing interest among new science graduates in exploring career paths beyond academia and broadening their horizons. The CRO plays a crucial role in driving clinical trials for biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device sponsors by providing services including study management, clinical monitoring, data management, regulatory submissions, medical writing, etc. The Clinical Trial Manager (CTM) at a CRO is responsible for the entire conduct and integrity of the clinical trial by providing oversight to all the services provided to the sponsor. CTM plays a vital role in the development of new drugs or treatments, right from their initial phase to the completion of the clinical trials.<\/span><\/p>\n
