HORSHAM, Pa.— Global Clinical and Ancillary Supply Chain leader Ancillare, LP, the first organization exclusively serving the end-to-end clinical and ancillary supply chain management needs of large- and middle-market pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies, as well as contract and medical research organizations, today announced it will sponsor a summer education program offered by the Young Men and Women in Charge (YMWIC) Foundation Inc.

The sponsorship will cover tuition expenses for two students from disadvantaged families to attend a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) summer program. Since 2007, YMWIC has served underprivileged youth in Philadelphia and surrounding communities through education and leadership programs geared toward preparation for careers in STEM fields.

“Ancillare is proud to support an organization doing such important work for youth in our community,” said Dr. Joanne Santomauro, Ancillare CEO and YMWIC board member. “The students who attend these programs are preparing to become industry innovators, not unlike those who brought Ancillare into existence.”

“We wish the very best to the families who will benefit from our sponsorship, and look forward to continuing to give back to our community,” Santomauro added.

Dr. Santomauro completed her studies while continuing to oversee day-to-day operations of the global organization. The commencement ceremony was an emotional and gratifying moment for Dr. Santomauro and her family, who were also in attendance.

“I’m very proud of this accomplishment and what it means for the trajectory of our organization,” said Dr. Santomauro. “In addition to the invaluable insights gained by my research, Ancillare will benefit from an extended network of accomplished Fox peers in healthcare and supply chain management.”

“I can’t wait to see where we go from here,” added Dr. Santomauro, who intends to continue to conduct both scholarly and practitioner research geared to test new theories and produce new knowledge that will deepen the understanding of this complex supply chain.

The findings of Dr. Santomauro’s research are chronicled in her dissertation, entitled “An Exploration of the Global Clinical Trial Ancillary Supply Chain and the Drivers of Success During the Pre, In, and Post Phases.”

Dr. Santomauro also successfully defended her dissertation earlier this Spring in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the doctoral program. Scholars and executives who steered and approved Dr. Santomauro’s work include:

• Misty Blessley, Advisory Chair, Marketing and Supply Chain Management
• Anthony Di Benedetto, Professor, Marketing and Supply Chain Management
• Edward Rosenthal, Professor, Marketing and Supply Chain Management
• Lynne Andersson, Associate Professor, Human Resources Management

Dr. Santomauro also said, “I’d like to personally thank my family, my friends, and my entire team at Ancillare for supporting me as I completed my doctorate, and for your continued commitment to and belief in our mission that ultimately helps patients live longer and more productive lives.”

Dr. Santomauro intends to publish her research findings in several practitioner journals in the upcoming months.
