Introducing PharmaTours: helping biopharm executives select FDA audited service providers in India for CMC and clinical research

February 26, 2010 By: NCTechNews Category: Pharmaceuticals

(Charlotte, N.C.) Pharma Services Network (http://www.pharmaservicesnet.com) announced a new clinical research and CMC service for simplifying the process of scouting and selecting outsourcing CRO and CRAM partners in India. The new clinical research service, PharmaTours, will help pharmaceutical companies accomplish a year’s worth of vendor selection work in just one intensive week of in-country CRO site visits. Clinical trial sponsors and drug developers can leverage Pharma Services Network’s deep international biopharmaceutical experience and contacts to accelerate and assure a successful India outsourcing strategy for clinical trials.

“Like the IT industry of the late 90’s, the life science industry is slowly but surely tilting in India’s direction. The combination of cost, knowledge, and patient availability make it too attractive to deny outsourcing clinical trials,” says Guy Worth, CSO at Pharma Services Network.

India has become the leading destination for outsourced clinical research and CMC projects. PharmaTours has been carefully designed to provide US and European executives with an intensive, fact-filled experience focused on industry-specific needs.

“One of the hardest parts of doing business in India is identifying reliable, FDA audited clinical research service providers. You can attend all the trade shows you want, but to get the whole story, you’ve got to go to India. You will see first-hand how these companies work, their people, instrumentation, SOPs, cleanliness, and dedication. Ask questions, get answers, and determine for yourself if this is the place for you to do business,” adds Jim Worrell, CEO at Pharma Services Network.

The PharmaTours registration website contains tour overviews, detailed itineraries, pricing, hotel and travel information, and a registration form. Visit the website to find current tours in clinical research and CMC. Custom tours are also available.

Pharma Services Network was established in 2003 to assist US sponsors with strategic global outsourcing initiatives. PSN has conducted business in India since 1984, and opened an office in New Delhi in 2008.
