NEW YORK (November 18, 2025) — Gary K. Zammit, PhD, has unveiled his latest book, Beyond the Science: How People, Process, and Systems Transform the Business of Life Sciences, now available on Amazon and at leading booksellers. Published by Forbes Books, this work marks an insightful addition to the exclusive business book series by Forbes.
In this compelling narrative, Dr. Gary Zammit, a celebrated entrepreneur and the pioneering mind behind Clinilabs, delves deep into the factors that dictate the success or failure of clinical research organizations. Drawing on more than 25 years of hands-on experience, Zammit illustrates that the achievements in drug and device development transcend cutting-edge science, hinging crucially on the synergy of people, processes, and systems.
Dr. Zammit invites readers into the journey of Clinilabs, a contract research organization specializing in central nervous system therapies. The book chronicles its evolution from early challenges and a near collapse during the Great Recession to its rise as a respected industry frontrunner. Throughout, Zammit underscores that assembling top-tier teams, crafting effective processes, and implementing supportive systems are pivotal for driving scientific breakthroughs and operational success.
Divided into two comprehensive sections, Beyond the Science first explores leadership strategies to cultivate cultures that foster innovation, collaboration, and integrity. The second section provides a detailed look at the operational blueprints that underpin excellence in clinical trials, addressing areas such as risk management, compliance, and the adoption of new technologies. By blending his own experiences with insights from industry colleagues, Zammit offers a resource for leaders and entrepreneurs eager to advance the frontiers of medical research.
“Although this book is centered on the life sciences—the field I am familiar with—I believe the principles outlined are applicable to virtually any business venture,” Dr. Zammit explained. “Ultimately, the harmonious integration of people, processes, and systems is fundamental for achieving remarkable success.”
At its essence, Beyond the Science posits that research and development should encompass more than traditional paradigms; it should embrace revolution and disruption to truly transform the industry.
At its core, Beyond the Science argues that R&D must be more than research and development—it must also be about revolt and disruption.
