Thank you for your review, although Celerion continues to grow we are still a 'small' company when compared to some of our much larger competitors. This does allow us to keep a more personal approach where people do know your name. Although we have had some name changes, our history dates back over 80 years to the first clinical trials (the work we still do today) and we still maintain a large presence in Lincoln, NE where our original company was founded. Thank you again for taking the time to post. Andrew Stringer - Exec. Dir. Global Human Resources
