Invent the Future with CTTI at DIA 2014 50th Annual Meeting

On June 15-19, the DIA is hosting their 50th Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA. The tagline for this year’s event, Celebrate the Past – Invent the Future, resonates closely with one of CTTI’s own strategic approaches: helping to shape the clinical trials enterprise of the future.

During this week of forward-thinking discussions, we look forward to connecting with many of you. Several CTTI representatives will be presenting, and CTTI will also host a pre-conference tutorial. Specifically, we look forward to sharing our work on quality by design, patient recruitment, antibacterial drug development, and good clinical practice.
