our ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION
20 Years of Medical Device Expertise
IMARC CEO Sandra Maddock founded IMARC in 1999 after working in nursing and later as a research coordinator at a hospital. She realized there was a lack of standardized training and procedures when it came to protecting human subjects and complying with regulations. That’s when she made it her mission to provide comprehensive oversight for clinical research studies.
These principles have helped fuel IMARC’s steady growth during its history and remain core pillars for the company.
Since then, IMARC has evolved from a largely one-woman operation to a successful mid-sized company that works with some of the largest medical device companies in the world. As the regulatory landscape evolves, IMARC is developing new global partnerships to meet the growing needs of medical device manufacturers. That includes expanding our presence in the European Union to meet new MDR and IVDR regulations.
