Dr Jorg Taubel, CEO of Richmond Pharmacology said "We are proud of the many complex clinical trial studies that we have been awarded over the last year.

Dr Taubel added "We also want to thank our hosting organisations CroydonUniversityHospital (NHS Trust) and St Georges University for their continued support and successful collaboration on many of our studies. We are committed to promoting innovation in new medicines and research methodologies and hope that our work can continue to be a benefit to our local communities."
Founded in 2001, Richmond has conducted over 250 clinical trials across important disease areas such as neurology, cardiology, oncology, diabetes, pain and multiple sclerosis. Dr Taubel noted that "With a sustainable pipeline of exciting studies going forward we would love to hear from potential sponsors and future collaborators in universities and the pharmaceutical industry."
