// PHARMATIMES AWARDS //
Back to life
The 2022 International Clinical Researcher of the Year awards recognised our industry’s incredible array of talent – in person!
There is, perhaps, only one individual on the planet who sincerely wishes all award ceremonies were held online. But that’s enough, about Will Smith, because we were in London recently to acknowledge industry brilliance and healthcare wizardry – to high-five the 2022 International Clinical Researcher of the Year winners.
PharmaTimes was returning for its 23rd awards ceremony – this time at the Chelsea Harbour Hotel. Indeed, it proved to be an unforgettable occasion on which to return, as clinical researchers from around the world gathered to celebrate some of the truly incredible global achievements that have unfolded throughout our industry over the last 12 months.
It was particularly special for our intrepid clinical researchers to meet following the significant milestones and unique challenges of the previous two years. Socially, digitally and clinically the landscape had been altered forever, while pharma has entered the public consciousness in a way no one could have predicted.
Just to emerge from the pandemic has been extraordinary, but the innovation, imagination and ingenuity displayed throughout our industry has been nothing short of remarkable.
