BioWorld™, a part of Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CCC), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, was recognized last month for excellence in publishing by the Specialized Information Publishers Association (SIPA). BioWorld, the daily news service for biopharmaceutical and medical technology industries, is the recipient of seven SIPAwards.
BioWorld delivers actionable information and intelligence on the most innovative therapeutics and medical technologies in development. The global team reports breaking news and provides key perspectives on hundreds of therapeutics and devices in development – the companies behind those candidates, the business development transactions that evolve the markets, and the regulatory hurdles that both challenge and guard the processes.
Lynn Yoffee, News Director, BioWorld said, “Every day, we help our readers cut through the noise of information overload. Now ― more than ever ― it is increasingly vital that we continue to provide our readers with unique, compelling and quality content that enables drug and med-tech developers to make more informed decisions.”
