Certara
, a provider of software and scientific consulting services to improve productivity and decision-making from drug discovery through clinical development, and

The joint service offering includes: Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, PK /Pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling, population PK modeling, trial simulation, clinical biostatistics, medical writing, data management, clinical monitoring, safety management, and project management.

“We look forward to offering Certara’s capabilities to our clients,” said Patrick Flanagan, chief business officer of Veristat. “Their Pharsight Consulting Services team is a world-class organization in the modeling and simulation of drugs and diseases. By combining our core services with their insight and experience, Veristat broadens our delivery platform and is able to more immediately respond to our clients’ outsourcing needs. The benefit to our clients is greater overall efficiency, impact and probability of success for their clinical trial programs.”
“We are pleased to partner with Veristat to expand what we can offer to clients as they seek to streamline their outsourcing of critical tasks in trial planning, analysis, and reporting,” said Daniel Weiner, Chief Technology Officer and head of Certara’s scientific consulting services. “Veristat specializes in several trial services that lie outside our core domain, and together we can offer more to the client than either organization could alone.”
