ISIS Services Names Cammack President and CEO to Launch New Innovative Research Strategies
San Carlos, CA, January 26, 2010 – ISIS Services, an innovator in pre-clinical and non-clinical testing, has named Jon N. Cammack, Ph.D., D.A.B.T., as President and Chief Executive Officer to lead the contract research organization into a new era of growth and services. Cammack joins ISIS Services after 15 years at Baxter International Inc., most recently as Vice President of its global R&D organization (Technology Services).
Cammack is an established leader in the medical device, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. He co-chairs the U.S. Technical Advisory Group for ISO TC 194, the international organization that develops standards for medical device, drug-device, and biologic-device combination products. Cammack also serves on the advisory boards for the biotechnology programs at the University of Illinois Medical School and Northwestern University’s Center of Excellence in Nanotechnology Cancer Research.
“Jon brings extensive technical and managerial expertise to our organization,” said Dr. Jorge L. Garcia, Chief Scientific Officer and Founder of ISIS Services. “He has a vision for introducing new strategies into pre-clinical testing, as well as the ability to implement these improvements and enhance the overall experience for our clients at each of our facilities.”
Since its inception in 1983, ISIS has been known for its excellent science and strong surgical and clinical skills. “ISIS has always seen itself as a partner with medical device and biotech firms, and we’re about to raise the innovation bar to a whole new level,” said Cammack. “I think these companies, both large and small, will be pleasantly surprised at what we’re ready to offer today, as well as what’s ahead for them in terms of maximizing research dollars while moving even more ideas thru the proof-of-concept testing phase.”
Cammack will be based out of ISIS Services’ San Carlos facility and can be reached at (650) 595-4747 or via e-mail at [email protected].
