INNOVATIONS in Pharmaceutical DevelopmentĀ®

Meet the Thought Leaders and companies that are building the pharmaceutical development innovations of tomorrow ā€“ Inspiration, Growth, and Opportunity await.

What is the publication?

Innovations in Pharmaceutical Development is a directory resource that highlights approximately 20 thought leaders and approximately 60 to 80 companies at the forefront of innovation in pharmaceutical development. Profiled companies and thought leaders are selected from nominations by a panel of six independent industry experts and three panelists from Crosstree. Panelist profiles are provided herein.

Why Crosstree?

Crosstreeā€™s strategic research and consulting division is publishing three Pharma Services Innovations directories for (i) Development, (ii) Commercial, and (iii) Supply Chain segments. Crosstree is publishing the directories to advance its thought leadership content, beginning with the Development segment. It is important to Crosstree that the directories are perceived as professional, high-quality industry resources, and not promotional advertorials.

What is the commercial model?

There is no cost or obligation for nominated companies to participate. The book will be sold as a directory to biopharmaceutical companies, investors, analysts, and other industry participants. Crosstree has partnered with Global Village, a directory publisher, to publish the directories. Global Village will offer nominated companies optional promotional products, which are further described in the back of this overview.

Crosstreeā€™s Innovations in Pharmaceutical Development is being developed and fully funded by Crosstree and Global Village. There is no cost or other obligation involved to participate.

  • Bioanalytical Laboratory Testing ā€“ A place, establishment or institution organized and operated primarily for performing chemical, microscopic, serologic, parasitologic, bacteriologic or other tests, by the practical application of one or more of the fundamental sciences to material originating from the human body, for the purpose of obtaining scientific data which may be used as an aid to ascertain the organismā€™s state of health.
  • In Vivo Laboratory Testing ā€“ Medical tests and/or experiments or procedures that are done on (or in) a living organism, such as a laboratory animal or human. In vivo studies are conducted to look at the actual effect on how the living organism (body) will respond.
