Unique Partnership to Offer Pharma Companies Comprehensive Suite of Medical Affairs Services

Group (PHCG), announced today its strategic partnership with Scientific Advantage, LLC of Bernardsville, NJ. The new enterprise will now offer the first one-stop, innovative and complete package of medical affairs services available to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Robin Winter-Sperry, MD, founder and president of Scientific Advantage, will lead the combined entity.

Dr. Winter-Sperry, in addition to her six years with her current company, has held a number of management and medical affairs roles at leading pharmaceutical companies, including Schering-Plough, Novartis and Sanofi-Synthelabo. She has pioneered the creation and training of expert medical liaison teams.

As the industry leader for over a decade, SOS’ exclusive focus has been providing contract Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) and medical communications support services, including drug information, product safety, pharmacovigilance, medical meeting support, and medical writing. Scientific Advantage is renowned for its medical affairs management consulting, training and strategic operations for medical affairs and MSL departments. Combined, these companies offer medical affairs strategies and applications for every phase of the product lifecycle and a business solution for companies seeking the option of “renting” versus building their own internal medical affairs competencies.

Pharmaceutical and biotech companies are faced with needing to do more with less in today’s streamlined environments. "This partnership serves as a medical affairs 'resource center' for companies, offering myriad options that can change as their business changes," Dr. Winter-Sperry said. "Providing medical affairs departments with flexible options allows them to pick and choose the specific customized services they need at any point in time to match the natural ebb and flow of business."

In addition to nationwide programs, the backing of the Publicis network adds an International footprint with unparalleled experience. As the global leader in healthcare communications, Publicis Groupe has a presence in 109 countries on six continents. SOS and Scientific Advantage have U.S. offices located in suburban Atlanta and New Jersey.
