A Brief History
CER Medical Institute was born in 1987
as a medical institution dedicated to
assistance, teaching and academic
research in the field of rheumatology
180 square feet were leased
The team included two rheumatologists,
a kinesiologist and a receptionist
Our own building was opened in 1994.

A Brief History
First trial was iniciated in 1989
The research team included a PI, a SI,
a SC, a nurse and no experience.
in 2002 we attached a bordering
property, totaling about 2000 square

meet the needs of clinical research.

CER institute SWOT analysis
Strengths
Trained human resources
Adequate infrastructure
Professional management
Access to a significant number of patients
Appropriate location

Weaknesses Delayed growth (Example:
computerized medical records, more
square feet, etc)
Medical issues: difficult to switch
MD from assistance medicine to
research Medicine
We need to increase illness data
base
![Page 28: CER Institute - Clinical Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020418/568bd56c1a28ab20349866f9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Oppotunities Latin America is positioned as a high potential clinical
research region
Argentina has a strong
research training offer
Relatively cheaper than other regions
(90%) Top ten CROs and top five big pharma
are located in Argentina
Regulations with a trend towards international harmonization
Adequate social and political perception
of clinical research
![Page 29: CER Institute - Clinical Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020418/568bd56c1a28ab20349866f9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Threats
New regulation of an old law in the
Province of Buenos Aires
Misinformation about the new
regulation of the law.
We are facing one year of inflation

Working in LatAm Established presence in a region with a growing population of 600
million spread across 21 countries
74% of the population lives in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina
Access to treatment-naïve patients in many different indications
Higher compliance and retention rates among clinical trial patients
Similar disease profile to North America and Europe, with complicated diseases such as hepatitis, tissue infection and HIV; age-related chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis; tropical diseases; and infectious diseases
Medical professionals receive training locally as well as in the EU and United States, and are knowledgeable of ICH GCP guidelines
