ClinPharm Consulting Forms Strategic Partnership with Leading Pharmacokineticist

Early phase drug development consulting firm ClinPharm Consulting and 23-year pharmaceutical industry veteran Bill Wargin, Ph.D. have announced a strategic partnership to further enhance ClinPharm Consulting's clinical pharmacology expertise.

Formerly with Burroughs-Wellcome and then GlaxoWellcome, Dr. Wargin has spent the last eight years consulting with numerous clients in all aspects of pre-clinical and clinical pharmacokinetics including study design, data analysis, and strategic planning.

"We're thrilled to be working with a professional like Dr. Wargin and this strategic partnership enhances our efforts to be the premier consulting firm focused exclusively on clinical pharmacology" said Geoffrey Banks, Ph.D., ClinPharm Consulting president. "Bill is well-respected in pharmaceutical and biotechnology circles for his expertise in pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics, two key areas of focus for our firm," he added.

Under this partnership, Dr. Wargin will make his breadth of experience available to ClinPharm Consulting's expanding client base of small, emerging pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that have minimal R&D infrastructure and need assistance with early phase human trials.

"I've known Geoff Banks for many years and have worked with him on numerous projects," Dr. Wargin said, adding, "I have a lot of respect for what he's doing with ClinPharm Consulting and look forward to helping our clients with their development programs."

ClinPharm Consulting is able to offer a full clinical pharmacology development package to clients and be a complete resource for virtual companies seeking to advance early phase drug development programs.
