Dr. Serge Varshavsky, once a prominent physician at the Department for Urgent Cardiology at the Research Institute of Cardiology in St. Petersburg, Russia, conducted groundbreaking research on the pre-hospital use of thrombolytic therapy in acute coronary syndromes. A year later, he was invited to serve as the national coordinator in the European Myocardial Infarction Project and founded Evidence Clinical and Pharmaceutical Research, one of the first Contract Research Organizations (CROs) in Eastern Europe. With headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area, Evidence employed over 350 people, operated across five countries and managed hundreds of clinical trials.
After Evidence was acquired by a global CRO, Dr. Varshavsky and Dr. Kelman founded Confidence Pharmaceutical Research to share their clinical trial expertise and serve the biopharmaceutical industry worldwide.
With over 30 years of international clinical research experience, and a noteworthy career in medical practice at the Institute of Cardiology at the St Petersburg Institute of Research, Dr. Efim Kelman previously served as President and Chief Operating Officer at Evidence Clinical and Pharmaceutical Research. Here he oversaw all of the CRO’s clinical trials, including large-scale international studies and smaller studies in different indications. He co-founded Confidence Pharmaceutical Research and is now responsible for daily operations, resource management, and supervising most operational functions and studies (including Clinical Operations, Medical and Project Management, Quality Assurance, and Data Management).
Dr. Kelman holds an MD from Pavlov Medical University, St. Petersburg, and an MBA from the Stockholm School of Economics. He is based at Confidence’s corporate headquarters in Redwood City, California.
