Welcome to Medidata
End-to-End Clinical Trial Ecosystem
Medidata recently hit its 25-year anniversary as it supports bringing life-saving therapies to patients and improving our nation’s understanding of disease progression. In the late 1990s, Medidata’s Glen de Vries and Tarek Sharif built one of the first Electronic Data Capture systems which went on to become a market leading EDC in both commercial and academic markets.
To date, Medidata has supported over 33,000 clinical trials across the entire clinical trial workflow including data management, clinical operations, patient engagement and advanced analytics.
Why Medidata for the Federal Government?
Experience Matters.
Medidata has spent nearly two decades supporting federal government sponsors when it comes to clinical research. Currently, we have two long-standing partnerships with the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease. The purpose of this newsletter is to proactively bring market research to your inbox so you can stay informed on Medidata’s latest technical innovations embedding AI into everything we do as well as our dedicated focus to academic clinical trials from a personnel, pricing and security standpoint.
In Pursuit of FedRAMP Authorization
Medidata recognizes the importance of data security for Federal agencies. Because of this, we are proud to announce our pursuit of FedRAMP authorization. While this process is currently underway, we are happy to schedule some time to discuss any questions you may have about this and general inquiries about how we can support your clinical trials.

How Frontier Responded to COVID-19 to Keep Trials Moving
Case Study
Frontier Science Foundation needed a quick pivot to address a pandemic challenge: Despite shutdowns affecting onsite study monitoring, they were committed to continuing the science. Frontier Science is a not-for-profit organization collaborating with research networks and sponsors to conduct clinical trials. Frontier Science has been involved in research for the past four decades and its work has significantly advanced the development of HIV/AIDS and oncology therapies. When Frontier Science suddenly needed to implement remote study monitoring, they turned to Medidata for a technology solution.
How Does Medidata Support Beyond Providing an EDC?
Q&A Section
Medidata’s Rave EDC is well-established in the clinical trial community. However, our solutions expand far beyond Rave EDC including data management, clinical operations, patient engagement and advanced analytics solutions.
Additionally, Medidata provides implementation, enablement, support and consulting services as well.

I started my career at Celgene (BMS) on the Process & Technology team, supporting all operations within the CAR T sector, which ignited my passion for patient-centered solutions.
For the past 3 years, I have been a Solution Consultant at Medidata, where I collaborate with clients to streamline clinical trials and enhance patient outcomes. Throughout my career, I’ve supported projects in cell and gene therapies, women’s health, rare diseases, and various other therapeutic areas. I’ve gained valuable insights from my experience in medical affairs, data management, patient diversity, supply chain, global manufacturing operations, and GxP regulations, equipping me with the knowledge needed for successful clinical trials.

Passions: Outside of tackling trial challenges, I enjoy coaching a U8 boy’s soccer team, exploring the world through travel and languages, and taking on exciting DIY projects. I’m also recently looking to participate in more outdoor adventures, like ATVing and snowmobiling, after experiencing these activities in Alaska. At home, my 3-year-old standard poodle, Kingsley, reigns as the king of the house—I'm always happy to share pictures of him!
