Industry Focus
What is Pharmaceutical?
The Pharmaceuticals Industry includes manufacturers and distributors of name-brand and
generic pharmaceutical products.
What is Biotechnology?
In its purest form, the term "biotechnology" refers to the use of living
organisms or their products to modify human health and the human environment. Prehistoric
biotechnologists did this as they used yeast cells to raise bread dough and to ferment
alcoholic beverages, and bacterial cells to make cheeses and yogurts and as they bred
their strong, productive animals to make even stronger and more productive offspring.
Throughout human history, we have learned a great deal about the different organisms that
our ancestors used so effectively. The marked increase in our understanding of these
organisms and their cell products gains us the ability to control the many functions of
various cells and organisms. Using the techniques of gene splicing and recombinant DNA
technology, we can now actually combine the genetic elements of two or more living cells.
Functioning lengths of DNA can be taken from one organism and placed into the cells of
another organism. As a result, for example, we can cause bacterial cells to produce human
molecules. Cows can produce more milk for the same amount of feed. And we can synthesize
therapeutic molecules that have never before existed.
What is Medical Device?
The term 'medical device' covers all products, except medicines, used in healthcare for
the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring or treatment of illness or handicap. The range of
products is very wide: it includes contact lenses and condoms; heart valves and hospital
beds; resuscitators and radiotherapy machines; surgical instruments and syringes;
wheelchairs and walking frames - many thousands of items used each and every day by
healthcare providers and patients.
What is Contract Research Organization (CRO)?
A CRO is a full-service contract research and development organization with the
experience, commitment, and creative resources to facilitate the passage of new drugs,
biologics, and medical devices through the regulatory approval process to market entry.
Pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device sponsors expect to increase outsourcing
to the several hundred CROs. Reports show that pharmaceutical companies have increased use
of CROs from 28% of clinical studies in 1993 to 60% in 1997. This reflects increased
spending on CR0 traditional services of Phase III study monitoring, data management,
pharmacoeconomic analysis, and medical writing. While these services remain the most
highly utilized, CROs are also offering new services to satisfy sponsors demands for
faster trials and globalization.

disciplines of Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance, Quality Control,
Medical/Scientific Writing, Clinical Research, Manufacturing, and Project
Management. We place at all levels including, but not limited to, Associate,

What is Regulatory Affairs?
Regulatory affairs (RA) is a dynamic and challenging profession that is vital to making
safe and effective healthcare products available worldwide. RA encompasses a variety of
disciplines and job responsibilities, which may begin during the product development and
continue into when a product is widely available for use. Individuals who ensure
regulatory compliance and prepare submissions as well as those whose main job function is
clinical affairs or quality assurance are all considered RA professionals.
RA professionals are employed in industry, government and academia and involved with a
wide range of products, including: pharmaceuticals, medical devices and biotechnology. The
professionals' roles and responsibilities often begin in the research and development
phases, moving into clinical trials and extending through premarket approvals,
manufacturing, labeling and advertising and postmarket surveillance.
