An interview with Dr. Jorg Taubel, CEO, Richmond Pharmacology, conducted by April Cashin-Garbutt, MA (Cantab)
Can you please give a brief introduction to Richmond Pharmacology’s new research facility in London Bridge? What was the vision behind this opening?
Richmond Pharmacology is a clinical trials company, we’ve been running clinical trials since 2001, predominately for the pharmaceutical industry.
This is the fourth facility we've opened and the new site has been used for this type of work for more than 30 years. It's in an ideal location embedded in the University and teaching hospital campus.
The location means we can access key opinion leaders and academic research staff. Also, we have the additional comfort of being nearby a hospital in case we need them for advice.
As this is our fourth unit, we have put a lot of thought and experience into it, and I believe it's our best. We completely removed the old facilities in the building and designed all the floors from scratch.
How important is the central London location?
The central locations is very important to us, there are two aspects which drove us to this site.
Firstly, we run a lot of clinical trials with patients, and these trials tend to run over a long period of time, ranging from six months to two years. During this time, the patients will have to make frequent visits to our facilities, therefore a location that is central with railway stations nearby is very important.
The second aspect is that even in today's digital age, I am a great believer of meeting face to face. Being surrounded by world leading academics here in central London, many of whom we collaborate with our clinical trials, I can easily arrange for face to face meetings. It can be done in a much more informal way than in the past, when we had to travel relatively far.
