Overview
Winicker Norimed GmbH is an independent, privately managed contract research organization (CRO) based in Nuremberg, Germany. Founded in 1993 by Martina Winicker, the company has grown into a full-service clinical research organization specializing in the conduct of clinical studies across the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors. It celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2023 and today employs more than 150 people. The company began operations in 1993 at Praterstraße 17 in Nuremberg with three core areas: monitoring, biometry, and data management. Over the following decades it expanded its service portfolio, adding medical writing and non-interventional studies in 1998, a medical devices division in 2008, and a safety & vigilance department in 2010 following the introduction of electronic case report forms (eCRFs). In 2008, due to growing size, the company moved to the nearby Deutschherrn-Karree with around 80 employees, and in 2017 it opened an additional office beyond its Nuremberg headquarters. In 2018 the current office space was expanded.
