Monipol is a Contract Research Organisation (CRO) and was founded in 1995. We believe that our strength lies in our experience, our readiness to adapt to our sponsors’ needs and our highly trained staff.
Monipol’s founders and managing directors are Dr med. Jarosław Stępień, and Dr rer. nat. Raphael Teichmann.
Dr Stępień was born and grew up in Poland where he studied medicine in Cracow.
Dr Teichmann, who was also born in Poland grew up in Germany and studied biology in Cologne and Düsseldorf.
Both directors worked for several years in clinical research for an international pharmaceutical company and conducted several clinical trials in Poland in the early 1990s. Their outstanding experience with Polish investigators and their patients led them to establish a Contract Research Institute to conduct clinical trials in Poland.
