History

Early History (1985-2006)

JSS Medical Research was founded in 1985 by Dr. John S. Sampalis, a McGill University graduate and professor. The company originated as a university-based consultancy group providing services, frequently in the form of statistical analysis and medical writing, to pharmaceutical companies. In 1997, services were expanded to include clinical operations and information technology solutions. In 2005, an internal quality assurance department was added which implemented a Quality Assurance Program under the direction of compliance specialists from SNC Lavalin. Since then, the QA Program has been managed internally. The following year, study monitoring and training were added to its services, marking it as a full service CRO.

Recent History (2007-present)

In 2012, services expanded to include a health economics and outcomes research department, to provide reimbursement strategy services and leverage health economics expertise to build key elements of reimbursement submissions. In 2013, JSS Medical Research initiated the first of several acquisitions by acquiring Latam Clinical Trials, a CRO company based in Bogota, Colombia with expertise in the Latin America area. The subsequent year, the company strengthened its position in Canada by merging with Integrated Research Inc., another CRO based in Montreal and became the largest Canadian-owned CRO. In 2015, JSS Medical Research acquired Max Neeman International, in India, expanding its footprint into the Asia/Pacific region. The following year, JSS Medical Research acquired Bonne Santé, a CRO in Poland, furthering its expansion into Europe.
