Dr. Jeffrey A. Green Interviewer conducted by: Diane Reynolds CEOCFOinterviews.com Brief History and Background My name is Dr. Jeffrey Green and I
have been in the clinical trials industry for the past twenty years. I am a pharmacist and
graduated from Purdue. I received a Doctor of Pharmacy Degree in 1982 from the University
of Texas. I then went into performing clinical trials for the pharmaceutical industry as a
research investigator at Case Western Reserve University. I left the university to go on
the entrepreneurial and corporate side of clinical trials. CEOCFOinterviews: Data Trak International,
it’s not really a drug company or biotech company, explain this to my readers,
it’s a little unique. Dr. Green: It is and we are
actually quite proud of that. DATATRAK International is in a new market niche and a
developing market niche called “application service providers”. We provide
hosting and software applications to run clinical research data for the pharmaceutical
industry over the Internet. Why that’s important is, and this may shock some of your
readers, but the way that the data is collected for clinical trials in the pharmaceutical
industry and in national institute of health or anyone who does clinical research is data
is collected by people flying around in airplanes to pick up paper. We believe this
process should run electronically over the Internet. CEOCFOinterviews: I understand this will reduce the
clinical trial duration by 30%. |
