Timelines

A clearly-defined project timeline is a key tool to effectively managing and delivering on a study. WCC prepares a comprehensive timeline at the beginning of each study. Project timelines are presented to the sponsor team during the introductory call and updated, as needed, based on study progress. Updated timelines are presented and discussed on a regular basis throughout each trial.

Project Management

Each study will have an experienced project manager as the single point of contact to oversee the execution of all Imaging core lab services. Our project managers are among the most experienced in the imaging CRO industry. With an average of more than five years’ experience in imaging study trial management, our PMs have managed large, complex, multinational, multi-modality studies in Oncology, Neurology, Musculoskeletal, and Cardiovascular, as well as early-phase, single site studies.
