The clinical research industry in India is poised to grow and offers great scope for careers.
When taking medication at home or a hospital, have you ever wondered how it was developed, approved and tested for safety? Much research is needed before therapies can be safely marketed. The average life cycle from concept to approval is typically between seven to 10 years. Clinical research plays a pivotal role in monitoring the efficacy and roll out of innovative R&D solutions within critical timelines. This was never more apparent than during the global pandemic. The launch of various COVID-19 vaccines, including those that use genetically engineered messenger RNA and non-replicating viral vector, have been successful because of a robust clinical research ecosystem. Clinical research plays a crucial role in every phase of the drug development process and continues to evolve with the help of advanced technologies and data analytics required to study new therapy areas.More Related News
