In a message to the company marking the milestone, CEO James Utterback thanked employees for their contributions to the success of the enterprise and of its clients. “We go past our 10th Anniversary with many goals and opportunities ahead of us…I am proud to be a part of this company's history and future. You, too, should fill with pride when you consider how important each of your contributions are to improving health and bringing new medications to the global marketplace.”

SCIREX now helps clients address every phase of drug development process, including full Phase I-IV clinical research, early development services, and post-marketing solutions.

Regardless of growth, Utterback observed that “therapeutic focus, scientific expertise, and quality will continue to guide our efforts.”
