Tammy Dutkin joined the Advanced Group of Companies as a Data Management consultant for TAP Pharmaceuticals in 1998. In 2000, on the recommendation of the Director of Data Management at TAP, Tammy was asked to lead the Advanced Clinical Research Services (ACRS) group to provide Data Management services for all TAP studies. Since that time, Tammy has helped grow the company from a single-client, 7-employee, data entry-service to the full-service, multi-client biometrics organization it is today.

Tammy started her career in research in 1991 as a research coordinator for Illinois Institute of Technologies, Research Institute. At IITRI, Tammy performed preclinical oncology research on animal models and worked in the analytics department using HPLC to test blood drug levels. During this period, Tammy also worked part time at Illinois Veterinary Labs as a Laboratory Technician. She gained valuable experience performing laboratory testing (CBCs, differentials, chemistry profiles) on animal specimens.

In 1993, Tammy had her first experience in clinical research working for Clinistat, a CRO in Vernon Hills. In 1995 she returned to her preclinical and laboratory background to work at Chicago College of Pharmacy. Tammy took a brief respite from her professional endeavors to pursue a Masters in Psychology.
