Science Oriented Solutions

Science Oriented Solutions (SOS) is a specialized contract medical organization (CMO) that pioneered the outsourcing of Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Founded in 1997 by Dr. Evan Demestihas, the company was the first to provide credentialed, trained, and managed field-based medical teams to support medical affairs, clinical trial recruitment, and key opinion leader (KOL) engagement. SOS offers a range of services including medical education, scientific information support, and strategic medical affairs consulting. The company was acquired by Publicis Healthcare Communications Group (PHCG) in 2004 and has since been integrated into the Publicis Health network, often operating under the Touchpoint brand. Its expertise lies in bridging the gap between clinical development and commercialization through high-level scientific communication and field-based medical strategies.
