Mesa Science Associates, Inc. (MSA) and MedSurgPI, LLC have announced a partnership between their two companies, which will expand and consolidate the offerings of both to the pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical research and development communities, offering a single source for services of particular importance to small and mid-sized biotech firms.
MSA is located in the Frederick Innovative Technology Center in Frederick, MD and specializes in drug-delivery development and clinical study design and operations. Its services include: consulting and management in the broad areas of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) sourcing; expertise in chemistry manufacturing and control; in vivo and in vitro pre-clinical and clinical-trial support services; and expertise in consulting on drug-delivery devices.
MedSurgPI is located in Research Triangle Park, NC and provides medical consulting for product development and medical affairs. Its suite of services includes: medical oversight for clinical studies; clinical strategy; medical monitoring; DSMB and SRC services; medical affairs; journal articles; fractional Chief Medical Officer services; and medical input for promotional (LMR) review.
Commenting on the partnership, Michael Mesa, MSA’s president, had this to say, “We look forward to working closely with MedSurgPI to bring a wider array of pharmaceutical development services to our clients.” Both companies believe their coordinated efforts will offer clients a powerful set of research guidance and management tools, beginning with preclinical studies and running all the way through FDA filings and post-marketing medical affairs. Dr. Gerald L. Klein, Principal of MedSurgPI said this about the partnership, “This collaboration with Mesa Science Associates will enhance our capacity to deliver robust preclinical and scientific consulting services to our clients.”
The services these two companies are bringing together are especially important for startup biotech companies, which don’t necessarily have the size and staffing to internalize such disparate capabilities under one roof. Small to mid-sized companies will now be able to access them from a single source, which will be a benefit to them and reassuring to their investors, which can range from private equity, to venture capital, to angel investors, and family funds.
