Chicago, IL – November 1, 2010

ClearTrial, the leading provider of Clinical Trial Operations (CTO) software, announced today that the company has been selected to serve as a conference chair for the Cambridge Healthtech Institute's (CHI) and BioPharma Strategy Series’ Strategic Resource Management conference, being held November 3-4 in Philadelphia. Held in conjunction with the CHI Portfolio Management conference, each year this executive forum attracts over 100 participants who help lead their organizations’ resource management, portfolio management, R&D, and commercial strategies.

Mindy Davis, Director, Clinical Services for ClearTrial, was selected by conference organizers to chair Day Two of the Strategic Resource Management conference.  As chair, she will direct the conference proceedings for the day and contribute insights from more than 20 years in the life sciences industry to the day's discussion.  

In addition, ClearTrial is sponsoring the presentation "Trends in Assessing Clinical Trial Costs and Resource Demand," by Stella Stergiopoulos of the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development.  She will present summary findings from two Tufts CSDD research projects: a cross-functional capacity planning working group, and a study assessing the evolving role of capacity planning and forecasting – a new, as-yet unpublished study. ClearTrial is sponsoring this session to foster greater understanding of the trends and practices shaping drug development.

"A key component of our broader mission as a company is to provide a forum for thought leaders to share their own insights into helping the industry succeed in the current operating environment," said Andy Grygiel, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management for ClearTrial.  "The Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development has been at the forefront of this effort for more than 30 years, and we're pleased to be able to support the dissemination of their strategic knowledge."

The CHI Portfolio Management and Strategic Resource Management conferences are being held November 2-4 at the Crowne Plaza Philadelphia Downtown in Philadelphia.  For more information or to register, visit http://www.healthtech.com/pfo or http://www.healthtech.com/sra.
