THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

At the recent CDISC Europe Interchange in Geneva, I had the honor of presenting the details of a project mapping clinical data into CDISC SDTM, with a twist. It was a small healthy volunteer study run at a single clinic where the site investigator built the data capture system in REDCap. 

Team members at PROMETRIKA are encouraged to stay abreast of scientific and regulatory advancements in biopharma by attending industry conferences. Earlier this year, I took this opportunity to attend the World Orphan Drug Congress 2025 in Boston. Some of the brightest minds in biotech, pharma, patient advocacy, and regulatory sciences met to discuss and brainstorm around one of healthcare’s most complex challenges: rare diseases. Urgency and innovation were highlighted through powerful keynote speeches, deeply personal fireside chats, and content rich panels focused on everything from patient identification to artificial intelligence in clinical care. I’d like to share some highlights from my experience and the sessions I joined.

Some folks may think the clinical study Database Programmer is a silent partner; technical by nature and quietly working behind the scenes. Not at PROMETRIKA. At PROMETRIKA, our Database Programmers are fully engaged with the entire study team. Yes, they are technical, and they are much more. Here’s what to expect when working with the Database Programming team at PROMETRIKA.

Attending the 2025 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical and Scientific Conference was more than just a professional checkpoint; it was a much-needed reminder of why we do what we do. I am a Sr. Clinical Trial Manager at PROMETRIKA, a full-service CRO based in Cambridge, MA. Every day, I am engaged in the meaningful work of advancing treatments for patients across many therapeutic areas.

Are you in the Boston area and looking for a community service activity in which to participate with your coworkers? Consider volunteering at Community Servings in Jamaica Plain. This nonprofit organization provides medically-tailored meals to thousands of people in Massachusetts and Rhode Island experiencing a range of critical and chronic illnesses. They rely heavily on volunteers to help prepare and package an impressive 20,000-plus scratch-made meals weekly.
