CNS CEO Prof Tony Webber and Dir of Operations, Russ Neal, will again be visiting the US as part of our annual attendance at the BIO and DIA conferences. This year Tony has had the honour of being invited to chair one of the BIO sessions, with Russ being invited as a speaker in the clinical trial forum. For the first time this year BIO will have a sub-area dedicated to clinical trials and CNS will be joining QCTN and other members both at the QCTN pavillion (located near the Australia/NZ Pavillion) as well as our second booth in the clinical trial sub-area.
Again, CNS will be exhibiting at DIA in Boston on the 23-26th June in Boston and would welcome old and new friends alike to come by and visit us. If you'll be there, do let us know in advance.
CNS has extended its services to our clients by now offering Medical Writing. We are delighted to welcome Allison Sutherland to our team, who in partnership with our medical and scientific consultants will be able to assist CNS clients with their protocols, Investigator Brochures and following support from our Biometrics partner Emphron Informatics, through to full Clinical Study Reports.
On 14 and 15 May, CNS ran the ACRP GCP for Research Professionals course in Northern Queensland for the first time. We had such positive responses that we will continue to deliver this important course to regional Queensland. If you might be interested in CNS bringing this training to your facility and can guarantee a minimum of ten participants, please contact us for further details.
CNS attended its first NZ BIO conference in Auckland in March and thank the organisers for an interesting and productive meeting. CNS Dir of Operations, Russ Neal, was one of the speakers with its NZ partner BelTas.

CNS joined the world's largest gathering of pharmaceutical scientists at the 2007 AAPS Annual Meeting & Exposition. CNS joined with our Queensland member organisation QCTN and in addition to other QCTN members such as QPharm, we were delighted to be joined by friends Okikawa & Associates and BelTas, our partner in New Zealand
The Annual QCTN Conference was held in Brisbane on 21-24 October, 2007. This conference coincided with AusBiotech 2007 which was also held in Brisbane
The inaugural "Clinical Research Excellence" Conference, CRX07, was held on the weekend of 17 – 19 August 2007 in Melbourne, Australia. Please see our training page for further information on GCP training in Australia.
Tony Webber was present at this year's Congress of the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis which was held in Geneva from the 6-12 July 2007.
The 2007 BIO International Convention, produced by the Biotechnology Industry Organization
(BIO), drew a record 22,366 attendees, a nearly 15 percent increase from the
previous year, with representatives from 48 states and 64 countries. One-third
of attendees came from outside the United States.
Tony Webber (CEO of CNS) " This was my 10th BIO and by far the company's
most successful. Exhibiting as a member organization on the Queensland Clinical
Trials Network (QCTN) pavilion allowed CNS to demonstrate its capacity to manage
early phase trials for international sponsors at a variety of clinical sites
in Queensland and other Australian states."
The 2007 BIO International Convention is the world's largest event for the biotechnology
industry. The Convention ran Sunday, May 6 through Wednesday, May 9 at the Boston
Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, Mass. The 2008 BIO International
Convention will be held June 17-20 at the San Diego Convention Center in San
Diego, Calif.
This is an intensive training course designed to boost knowledge and understanding of good clinical practice (GCP) and locally applicable regulations and guidelines such as the TGA Regulations, NHMRC National Statement, FDA Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), the European Directives and the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH).
This training will translate into a reduction in the number of data queries and minimise the time and expense associated with getting investigational products to patients.
The goal is to provide you with the knowledge to perform clinical trials more efficiently and to the highest level of GCP complicance, thereby conducting cleaner, safer and more efficient trials.
