FAQ
Frequently asked questions on this category
- What does a CRO do?
- Outsourced R&D services for drug, biologic, and device developers. Common offerings: clinical trial site management and monitoring, preclinical toxicology, bioanalytical method validation, central laboratory testing, regulatory affairs and submissions, pharmacovigilance, biometrics, post-market surveillance, and translational research. Some CROs are full-service (Phase I through IV); others specialize in a niche.
- What is the difference between a CRO and a CDMO?
- A CRO runs RESEARCH services for other companies (clinical trials, preclinical, data work). A CDMO runs MANUFACTURING services for other companies (drug substance, drug product, fill-finish). They sit on different parts of the drug development chain. Some integrated providers offer both ("CDRMO" or full-stack), but most specialize in one or the other.
- Which European countries have the strongest CRO presence?
- Poland leads on cost-competitive clinical operations (Selvita, Pharmacy Healthcare, plus the major CRO sites). Germany has deep clinical trial infrastructure (ICON, Charles River, IQVIA). The Baltics carry specialty preclinical and bioanalytical CROs. Switzerland and the Nordics host higher-tier specialty operators.
- How are CROs verified in this directory?
- Every profile is hand-reviewed: leadership confirmed by primary source, physical site address sourced from official disclosures, capability and certification claims (GLP, GCP, ISO 9001, ISO 13485 where relevant) backed by documents, and a registry note explaining service scope.
