Schulman Associates buys Florida IRB

Related tags Institutional review board

Cincinnati, US-based Schulman Associates Institutional Review Board (IRB) has bought Florida counterpart Independent Investigational Review Board (IIR) to broaden its offering for Pharmas and CROs.

The deal, terms of which were not provided, will add IIR’s Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP) office in Plantation to Schulman’s network and is the firm’s most significant investment since November 2009​ when it established an office in Toronto, Canada.

Current IIR CEO Kim Lerner, who will leave the company as a result of the deal, said that: “Joining with Schulman allows Independent to provide the advantages of enhanced WebPortal and IT features to our established customer base​.”

IIR appears to have a broad customer base. Last month the firm was named as the reviewer of a study examining if a demal graft product can be used to improve the appearance of hair transplant patients.
