 I am a Clinical Research Scientist, so far developed a number of pharmaceuticals, APIs, medical devices and cardiovascular and neurovascular implants/stents -and drug delivery systems.
  
I am supporting Interventional -Cardiology, -Oncology, -Radiology and -Neurology Groups and Diabetes & Stroke Centers and Kidney-Dialysis and Stone Centers in India and North European-and North American countries. We have developed so far 7 Physicians -Task Forces and 7 Patient -Self-Help Groups.
 
We discuss the current status of differential diagnosis techniques and curently state of the art therapy possibilities in these countries.
 
As I am also running a Contract Research Organization and Medical Education Institute in Germany and 5 Places in India (Helix Research Center Pvt. Ltd.), our support groups receive some money from the drug and device industry, our therapeutic windows are sometime limited to the drugs and devices availale from these sponsors. We support the Government and Patient Groups but keep the interest of the Sponsors (Pharmaceutical and Devices Industy). Supporting is sometime another name of medical marketing line the Medical Camps in India, which is more or less an advertisement of the Camp Physician and fo the Pharmaceutical Company Products.
