Ford Khorsandian 
Trudi Jones Ford Khorsandian, President
Ford Khorsandian founded U.S.-based TPR International Inc. in 1995 to provide information searching for scientific research and intellectual property, as well as the specialist information searching needs of the pharma and biotech communities throughout all stages of a drug’s development.
He has long been a dominant figure in the information world. His early career in scientific literature information led him to become Vice President of Derwent North America (later to become Thomson Reuters), and he moved on to become an International Director of Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS). Through forging enduring ties with leading information professionals worldwide, he went on to establish the Pharma-Bio-Med service by building a capable team of world-class literature searchers garnered from within the highly-regulated and competitive worlds of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and medical devices.
Mr. Khorsandian’s dynamism and passion for literature searching has led him to hold prominent positions on multiple search advisory boards. He is also founder of the International Patent Information (IPI) Award, as well as the Pharma-Bio-Med Institute and conferences, which have attracted information professional attendees from the world’s top pharma and bio companies such as Abbott, Eli Lilly, GSK, and Pfizer, covering the spectrum of literature information needs from medical information, medical affairs and regulatory, to knowledge management and competitive intelligence.
