RTI International is expanding its Health Solutions business unit and also opening an office in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The business group provides research and consulting services to pharmaceutical firms.
RTI recruited the team of six new employees from Pfizer following that company’s decision to make changes in its Ann Arbor operation, according to an RTI spokesperson.
“The new Ann Arbor staff joined RTI from Pfizer after Pfizer announced that certain operations in the Ann Arbor office would be consolidated in other Pfizer locations,” she said.
The additional researchers will work in Ann Arbor. The team includes people with expertise in outcomes research, health economics, patient-reported outcomes, outcomes research and regulatory strategy.
RTI operates Health Solutions offices in the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada and Spain. The unit was launched in 2000.
Team members are: Kati Copley-Merriman, global head, outcomes research and regulatory strategy; Tom Taylor, senior director, health economics; Susan Martin, senior director, patient-reported outcomes; Marci Clark, director, patient-reported outcomes; John Coombs, director, outcomes research and regulatory strategy; and Stephanie Barrows, senior health outcomes scientist.
