Neomed-Labs/Pacific Biomarkers
Tim McGrath has joined the newly-merged service provider as the chief operating officer.
In this role, he will contribute to the integration of Neomed-Labs and Pacific Biomarkers – which were merged in late 2018.
"Implementing harmonized systems and processes with best operational practices across all sites will be an area of focus in the near term," said McGrath. "With the anticipated expansion and significant growth of the business, it is critical that we have world class, scalable operations that continue to meet the needs and expectations of our customers.
McGrath has worked at Quintiles (now Iqvia) and Q2 Solutions, a role in which he was responsible for multiple sites in the US and Europe. He also head central labs in the Americas with sites in North and South America overseeing more than 500 employees.
The hire follows the recruitment of Abigail Brus as the vice president of operations in Seattle and Saadya Fatmi in the same role in Laval. Brus also was previously from Q2 Solutions and worked at Covance. Fatmi joined from Biotrials and has more than 25 years of experience in the CRO industry.
