Frontier Science Scotland (FSS) is a leading clinical data research organisation, advancing drug development by delivering excellence in clinical trials to its customers. We provide biostatistics, data management and quality assurance services to global commercial and academic partners covering all aspects of the design, conduct and analysis of clinical trials.

FSS has an extensive track record as a dependable partner providing specific expertise to support major international Phase II and III clinical trials in oncology, neurology (including mental health), and respiratory. We have contributed to multiple peer-reviewed medical and statistical journals. We’re passionate about evolving the clinical research field and advancing patient health.

With our biostatistical expertise we ensure the correct statistical analysis methods are applied, resulting in accurate, interpretable results. With our data management services, we provide clean, accurate, complete, and reliable datasets for analysis, no matter the size, type, or complexity of the clinical trial. Quality assurance matters when running trials, and we can provide regulatory compliance consultancy, a quality management system, and technical writing, to ensure all stakeholders have the utmost confidence in the results. We provide seamless collaboration, which is the secret to success in clinical trials.

Through our partners Alchemy Medical Writing, and iDE8, we offer additional services, including regulatory writing, medical communications, and medical device consultancy, including strategic technology licensing. We work closely with key international oncology collaborators including Belgium’s Breast International Group (BIG) and the Jules Bordet Institute (IJB), as well as the Frontier Science Foundation (FSF), which provides innovative data management and analysis for clinical trials.

A proudly independent, not-for-profit, organisation, FSS was founded over twenty years ago in the Scottish Highlands. FSS has built up a highly experienced team, the majority with a Masters degree or higher, several of whom serve as volunteers on national and international panels including trial steering committees, funding review panels, human research ethics committees and independent data monitoring committees.
