Our Challenge:   Join the Battle to Beat Rare Cancers

Our Impact:   $150K Raised to Support Rare Cancer Research

For a fifth consecutive year, Team Veristat accepted this challenge in the 2019 Boston #cycleforsurvival event!   We exceeded our goal of raising $50,000 to support rare cancer research.

As a scientifically oriented and impactful full-service clinical research organization (CRO) that is committed to partnering with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device firms to advance their therapies throughout the entire clinical development and regulatory submission process,  Veristat works each day with a focus on improving the lives of patients with rare cancers. 

As a Talent Acquisition Consultant for Veristat, I receive many cover letters and resumes from candidates each day. I am often blown away by the experience, knowledge, and expertise of these individuals and always hope to match their skill sets to one of our current openings. 

In 1964, a child’s chance of surviving the most common form of Leukemia was 3%.  Today it has increased to 91%!  

With the summer in full swing, vacations and long weekends by the pool are top of mind.

Although we all have the best intentions to use our paid time off each year, it is also not a secret that Americans are truly terrible at taking time off.  According to Project: Time Off, 52% of American employees reported having unused vacation days at the end of 2017.

Have you ever tried to paint a room in the dark? Probably not, right? 

Why would anyone go through the trouble of getting the supplies and putting in the effort to attempt a job well done if they couldn’t see their progress along the way?  Just the same, why would anyone turn their career over to the annual performance review process? 

With the holiday season in full swing, it’s hard not to reflect on this past year and realize how thankful Veristat is to play such an instrumental role in the world of clinical research.  

Veristat aspires to make a difference, every day!  

As the weather gets colder and we find ourselves in the holiday season, the employees of Veristat decided to make a difference by helping others in their local communities.   

On Saturday, February 4, Team Veristat joined the battle against rare cancers at the 2017 Cycle for Survival event! Team Veristat had 14 riders at the Boston, MA event, including 2 colleagues from our UK office.  Our team surpassed our goal of raising over $25,000 to fund rare cancer research!
