History
Research & Development RA SA CRO is a full-service contract research organization based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was founded in 1993 as a family enterprise, by Santiago Liuboschitz, MD and his son, Pablo Liuboschitz, BsC.
Research & Development CRO has been operating in the Latin American market for more than 20 years. Considering that the first regulation for clinical trials in Latin America was approved in 1997 in Argentina, it is easy to see that Research & Development CRO has been active and present since the very beginning.
Dr. Santiago had developed his career since 1972 within the pharmaceutical industry, after 10 years of medical practice. He had started off as Medical Director at Merck Sharp & Dhome where he stayed until 1980, was later the Head of Clinical Research at Ciba-Geigy Argentina until 1992 and finally was the Southern Cone Regional Medical Director at SmithKline Beecham until 2000.
He was Research & Development’s CEO until 2008 and is currently the Vice-President. Pablo Liuboschitz, was a Bachelor in Science at that time, and he began to work in clinical research in 1995. He was a researcher, later became a CRA and clinical research advisor and finally was the Clinical Research Manager of Research & Development CRO. After completing a Master in Business Administration he took over the CEO position in 2008.
In 2000, Research & Development was able to expand their services to Brazil. In 2001 expansion reached Mexico, Costa Rica and Chile. In 2009 Uruguay was included as well and in 2014 through a Clinical Research Consortium composed of 8 other CROs we are now able to go global with clinical trials, offering outstanding quality and local “know-how” within affordable budgets.
We can provide full support for bioequivalence studies, clinical trials from phase I to IV and product registration. Our client list includes small and medium-sized biotech companies, national and multinational pharmaceutical companies and CROs. For disclosure of Client List please contact us. Research & Development CRO is the first national member of CAOIC [http://www.caoic.org.ar/], the Argentine Chamber of CROs.
