Medical and healthcare start-ups and clinical research?
Medical and healthcare start-ups and clinical research? As a rule, medical start-ups do not only need the pure effectiveness study and/or risk-benefit assessment of the product for the purpose of their project development.

Many medical start-ups fail in an early stage.
Many medical start-ups fail in an early stage. But why?

Big Wedding: Icon says “Yes” to PRA.
Big Pharma is going bigger and bigger. What do you think about this wedding? Since the last years many big weddings and re-brandings were observed.

MDR – already ready
The medical technology sector was already ready for the MDR in 2020. However, there are still too few notified bodies that are notified for the MDR. In addition, a large number of official documents for the implementation of the MDR are still not available. As a result, the regulatory system around the MDR is not
