Statprobe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Statprobe was a privately-held pharmaceutical company headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Statprobe was co-founded by Lora H. Schwab and Mark Becker. Becker and Schwab were Ph.D. biostatisticians from nearby Warner Lambert Parke Davis (later Pfizer) in Ann Arbor when they founded Statprobe in 1988.

Statprobe expanded to San Diego, California; Seattle, Washington; Lexington, Kentucky; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Dublin, Ohio; and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (Statprobe Technologies) by 2000. The company later acquired a clinical monitoring organization near Nashville, thus expanding to Tennessee.

Statprobe's core services were CRA Monitoring, Data Management, Statistics, Programming and Medical Writing and Project Management. Statprobe focused heavily on quality assurance and statistical computer programming. Statprobe also provided on-site employees via a separate business division.

The name "Statprobe" was a combination of "statistics" and "probability". Employees received a small framed copy of the company's core values when they began employment.

Statprobe was later acquired by i3 Research. Spelling went from all caps (STATPROBE) to mixed case (i3 Statprobe).
