PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ERT (Nasdaq: ERES), a leading provider of centralized services to global pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies, announces that Joel Morganroth, MD, Chairman and Chief Scientist, has been acknowledged by PharmaVOICE magazine as one of the 100 most inspiring people in the life sciences industry. Dr. Morganroth has been recognized for his lifetime contribution to the advancement of individuals and science and the welfare of patients. The PharmaVOICE 100 winners are nominated by the magazine's readers, who identify the individuals they consider to have the greatest influence and positive impact on corporate leadership, research and development, technology, creativity, marketing and business strategies.
"I am especially honored to have been nominated to receive this prestigious award," Dr. Morganroth stated. "This recognition would not have been possible had I not been part of such an innovative company and competent team of experts, committed to redefining how clinical trials can be successfully conducted to allow for quick and accurate product development decisions."
Dr. Morganroth was nominated for the PharmaVOICE 100 award based on his outstanding career in the life sciences industry spanning more than 30 years and his ability to inspire and motivate his colleagues. With a vision for innovation, he invented ERT's breakthrough and proprietary EXPERT® technology platform for centralized electronic electrocardiograph data collection and management. As the leader of ERT's world-renowned cardiology team, Dr. Morganroth provides comprehensive, strategic consultation on medical and regulatory cardiac safety issues. Having served as a consultant for the US FDA and regulatory authorities in Canada and Europe for many years, he has helped ERT to develop new solutions for assessing cardiac safety of new drugs in compliance with worldwide legislation with the ultimate aim of safeguarding human health.
Dr. Morganroth has contributed to the advancement of individuals and science in a number of different roles, from faculty, special government and consultant positions to memberships in major cardiology organizations. He has co-authored more than 350 articles and 24 books, he has been featured in different "Who's Who" listings, and has received a Special Citation award from the FDA Commissioner for his work in providing invaluable assistance to the FDA for the development of a format for regulatory submission of digital annotated electrocardiograms (ECGs) to determine the cardiac safety of new drugs.
Dr. Michael McKelvey, Chief Executive Officer of ERT, comments: "A globally recognized cardiologist and clinical researcher, Dr. Morganroth has been instrumental in defining the opportunity in cardiac safety that has shaped the direction of ERT beginning in the late 1970s. He has managed to successfully define an innovative set of processes and technologies that have helped lead ERT to its position as the clinical trial research industry's largest Cardiac Safety services company. Being named one of the 100 most inspiring people in the life sciences industry is in recognition of his exceptional career and a great honor for ERT as well."
