(I-Newswire) - Dr. Georg Casari has joined ORIDIS Biomed as Chief Information Officer ( CIO ) to further optimise the company's data integration and information management.

Peter Hecht, CEO of ORIDIS Biomed explains: "Our vision to provide targeted treatment solutions for individualised medical care requires the analysis of information from a wide range of sources during the development of medicines.
