CatSci, a UK-based process research and development contract research organization (CRO), has appointed Jenny Wallis and João Madeira as business development managers.

Wallis has a background in chemistry, having completed an EngD in the synthesis and application of fluorescent materials before working in business development at High Force Research, a chemical development CRO.

Madeira worked as an international business development manager at the pharmaceutical consultancy Inpharmation. He holds a PhD in pharmacy from the University of Nottingham.

The creation of these two new roles is in response to the increasing global demand for its end-to-end process chemistry services, CatSci said.
