The Research & Development team is driven by "Scientific Excellence from the Bench to the Boardroom." This reflects our commitment to the client across all disciplines, at all levels of Research & Development organizations. At any given time, Marcus & Associates is spearheading CSO, V.P. and Director searches, along with multiple scientific and middle-management recruiting projects spanning the entire spectrum of R&D. Such areas include New Technology, Medicinal Chemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Pharmacology, PK, Metabolism, Toxicology, Pathology, Lab Animal Medicine, Formulations, Drug Development and Project Management.

Significantly larger and more specialized than those of competing firms, our R&D team brings the necessary breadth and depth of experience to effectively handle both targeted and large-scale (staff-up) searches simultaneously.

We are team players and consultants, proactively serving the needs of Pharmaceutical and Biotech clients across North America. In the field, our group is known for providing the highest level of ethical and professional service -- a team you can rely on without reservation. Frequently, we have been called upon to take over and "save" languishing retained searches previously handled by other recruitment firms. In some instances, we deliver in three weeks what other recruitment firms fail to do in fifteen.
