Dr. David Bernstein, the highly respected regulatory and technical consultant passed away on August 18th, 2009. David's long career in the clinical trials arena extended to several biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, providing guidance in conceptual and implementation strategy and tactics for expediting the drug development process through integrating pre-clinical formulation efforts, preparation of investigational drug supplies and scale up to commercialization activities with the clinical development plan. He acted as the principal liaison between numerous virtual organizations and their CMC contractors.

David also lectured, developed training programs and educational seminars, and founded, organized and hosted the twice-annual Pacific Region Clinical Supplies Conference (PARCS), disseminatiing, sharing and discussing technology, logistics, regulatory issues and best practices involved in implementing the Investigational Clinical Supply Process.

It goes without saying that David Bernstein has always been proud of the PARCS Conferences - always providing a first-rate, professional and valuable asset to the industry. As a colleague he was among the most knowledgable, passionate, generous, and devoted individuals in his field. As a friend he will be missed and cherished for his warmth, wit and his wisdom.
