The Contract Research Organization and the Commercialization of Scientific Research
The Contract Research Organization and the Commercialization of Scientific Research
The early 1980s constituted a watershed in science, mainly concerning the extent and nature of globalization and commercialization of scientific pharmacutical clinical contract research projects , and its impact upon the university. Considerable debate has arisen about the sources of this transition, but aside from a few lone voices, the scholarly literature has neglected the concurrent rise of the clinical trial organization (CRO) and its role in the commercialization of scientific clinical trial . The CRO warrants wider attention as a modern paradigm of privatized science in the biopharmaceutical sector. In discussing the CROs technologies, the purposes they pursue, and the legal and policy initiatives that have fostered their rapid rise, we confront the wider implications of the modern regime of commercialized science for the future conduct of scientific clinical . We identify five areas of innovation: treatment of human subjects, control of disclosure, subjection of Medical experimental tools to commercialization, redefinition of authorship, and re-engineering the goals of Medical research .
