London, England and Medfield, Mass., – November 13, 2009

Morales will oversee all operational aspects of Pharmarama’s new storage and distribution facility in Medfield, Mass., including environmental health and safety, purchasing, regulatory permitting and logistics. 

“Sandy brings nearly two decades of pharmaceutical and biotech research operations experience to Pharmarama,” said Rosemary Bensley, the company’s Managing Director.  “Her appointment reflects the growth we are seeing in supplying leading pharmaceutical companies with the comparator medicines they need for clinical trial and research purposes.”

Prior to joining Pharmarama, Morales was Manager of Research Operations at AMGEN, where she oversaw facilities, environmental health & safety and operations for the company’s Cambridge research and development site. Morales also was employed at Kinetix Pharmaceuticals prior to its acquisition by AMGEN.  She also has held positions at Cytomed and Opta Food Ingredients.  Morales holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Saint Joseph College of West Hartford, Connecticut and is a member of the International Facility Management Association.

“This is an exciting time to join this dynamic and entrepreneurially minded company,” Morales said. “Our cold-chain storage and distribution facility in Medfield, which we expect to open in the coming months, will serve as a platform to expand our comparator sourcing business by serving new customers and reaching new markets.  Pharmarama has a rich history as a leader in the clinical trial supply chain.  Our new U.S. office, which is supported by a strong and experienced team in the U.K., gives us the opportunity to achieve a new level of international growth.”
