  • ESG Is Becoming a Clinical Operations Accountability

    Clinical Research News | Clinical operations leaders are being asked to deliver faster, more complex trials while carrying Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments they do not directly control. That tension is no longer theoretical. As supplier sustainability performance becomes a material driver of execution risk, quality, and delivery speed, ESG is quietly shifting from a corporate reporting obligation to a clinical operations accountability.

  • Closing the Research Gap in Africa Through Decentralized Patient Engagement and Remote Trial Models

    Clinical Research News | Africa remains one of the most important yet underleveraged regions in global drug development. The continent carries a substantial share of disease burden but contributes only a small fraction of clinical trial activity. This imbalance is not driven by scientific limitations or lack of patient interest. It reflects structural constraints that traditional site centric trial models have failed to overcome at scale.
