Criterium Expands Staff in Three Countries

Criterium, Inc., a full-service CRO, has expanded its staff in the U.S., India and South Africa as part its business plan to increase capabilities, accommodate current sponsors and project deliverables, as well as conduct trials in a wider range of areas around the world. The new staff is being added to the company’s monitoring services, business development and regulatory departments.

“We think of ourselves as an ‘agile’ company, with a ‘green’ focus — we keep our services well-planned and competitive, and we add staff prudently to ensure top quality work and people on all studies we do,” said John Hudak, president and founder.

Dr. Lawrence Reiter, director of Global Affairs, added, “Scientific ventures drive the economy, not the other way around, so we look at 2010 with a predictive optimism. Adding staff will allow us to do more for our clients this year.”
