June 21, 2012 - PRLog -- ROSWELL, GA – MORLEY RESEARCH CONSORTIUM (MRC) has entered into a strategic partnership with the GEORGIA TECH ENTERPRISE INNOVATION INSTITUTE to align the Clinical Research Organization’s Clinical Trial expertise with Georgia Tech’s network of University, Corporate and Industry scientists and engineers whose medical researchers are leading the development of innovative products including Nano-Technology, Bio-Tech Products and Medical Devices.  This partnership merges a full service CRO dedicated to this research space with the brightest, most innovative minds in the industry resulting in quality clinical trials, delivered to the high standards of the FDA in a timely and efficient manner and good manufacturing procedures (GMPs) for the product in clinical trial. The partnership's goal is to bring products to market more rapidly and cost effectively by expediting the collection and analysis of medical research results while simultaneously ensuring GMPs and quality systems acceptable to the FDA are in place upon approval of the product. This will be a tremendous benefit to the stakeholders including trial sponsors and most importantly the patient population.  Strategic partnerships with more efficient clinical trials will result in shorter research time and reduced costs, ultimately getting new, innovative medical technologies to patients in an expeditious manner.

"Morley Research Consortium is very excited to partner with the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Group ”, said Jane Green, PhD, President and CEO of Morley Research Consortium.  "It will allow us to offer our medical device clients a highly qualified medium to expedite their good manufacturing procedures (GMPs).  Georgia Tech is widely recognized as being an institution of excellence.  Morley is honored to partner with their GMP team to build upon Morley’s existing reputation for quality clinical research while offering broader services to our existing client base with the world class university network of Georgia Tech."
