SIACs also assist DIA in identifying professional development needs in particular interest areas and provide information to members in career and professional development. They also promote education, training, and development of professionals in the biopharmaceutical and healthcare industries which include staff of sponsors, vendor organizations, contract research organizations, and sites that implement, apply, and maintain electronic and other new information technologies, processes, and standards in the conduct of clinical trials.

"We're thrilled for Jonathan for his achievement, a testament to the passion and dedication shown towards the industry and his work," said Mark Weinstein, President and CEO of BioClinica. "It's employees like him that make BioClinica an industry leader. With a legacy of more than two successful decades, BioClinica has an established history of service and reliability to the industry. We are looking forward to continuing our leadership for decades to come."

Jonathan Andrus manages regulatory compliance, data management, and training for BioClinica's eClinical Service Division.

He has a Masters of Science in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs from Temple University's Graduate School of Pharmacy, a Bachelor of Arts from Temple University's College of Arts and Sciences, and is a certified quality auditor (CQA) and certified clinical data manager (CCDM).

In other company news, Jennifer Price, Senior Director, Clinical Solutions at BioClinica, was awarded the "Best of Show" for her presentation "A Practical Introduction to Clinical Data Acquisition Standards Harmonization (CDASH)" at PharmaSUG 2009. On October 1, 2008, CDASH released the first 16 common CRF streams (or domains) for use by the pharmaceutical industry. The goal when putting together the initial domain streams was to find out which data fields are essential to the analysis of clinical data, and collect only that data in a standard way. The presentation focused on the details and challenges involved in implementing CDASH, and its benefits.

Jennifer Price assists customers with developing and executing strategies to successfully implement eClinical technologies and standards within their organizations. She has 20 years of pharmaceutical industry experience and had focused exclusively on EDC implementations for five years. Jennifer is a Certified Clinical Data Manager (CCDM) and a certified SAS Programmer.

"Jennifer has a great deal of knowledge and enthusiasm for the industry, and it is apparent in everything she does," continued Weinstein. "We are excited that Jennifer was recognized by PharmaSUG and know it is well deserved."

BioClinica's employees have a history of involvement in the industry, helping change and move the industry into the future. At DIA 2009, Chris Conner, Director of product management, is participating in the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium's (CDISC) live healthcare link demonstration at booth 1915. Chris has been instrumental in helping to develop real-world implementation of CDASH and harmonize with HL7.
