“At Improved Pharma, we are all about helping our clients bring their drugs to market faster,” notes Dr. Pamela Smith, COO of Improved Pharma. “We do that by bringing together experts in the field who have earned a strong reputation as service-oriented scientists. We also are constantly advancing the field of pharmaceutical development with research studies that we then pass along to our clients. This expansion comes at the perfect time, as our business is growing rapidly.”
