Meet the founder
More than 30 years in clinical research, now focused on finding you the right people.
Mark P. Thomas started in big pharma, running Phase I trials across Europe, then built a clinical resourcing business, Pharmaceutical Contract Resourcing (PCR), in the 1990s before founding two CROs, Clinicology and Cmed. Now he’s back in resourcing, because he saw how often sponsors, from small biotechs to established pharma and medtech companies, struggled to find reliable people on the ground.
