SAN FRANCISCO, CA. November 5, 2007 - Pacific Data Designs, Inc.

PDD has developed a strong reputation within the marketplace for quality assurance, compliance, rapid turnaround times, and superior client service. Many of PDD's customers use the Company exclusively for their data management needs, which can span several different studies for each biotech/pharmaceutical company. PDD is led by Kelli Greene and Pete Sandgren who each have over 15 years of data management experience and are considered thought-leaders in the industry.
