"Azzur Group is excited to welcome Brijesh Patel as the newest leader of Azzur Worcester. With the growing biopharmaceutical presence in the Central New England Region, coupled with the ongoing early-phase manufacturing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am confident that Brijesh's leadership will allow us to help our clients get their life-changing therapeutics into patients' hands quicker than ever before," said Chris Mansur, President of Azzur Consulting.
