  4. INDUSTRY-LEADING TECHNOLOGY
    Clinical trials are resource-intensive processes requiring the availability of state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for testing and analysis. We have invested heavily in the industry-leading technology platforms to support speed, communications, and regulatory compliance.

  5. GLOBAL CAPABILITIES
    Local relationships, global execution As a global contract research organization – with sites in USA and UK – we can provide internal assay transfer and validation protocols among our global sites.

    Harmonized SOPs, policies, and IT systems to facilitate transfer of methods, data, and information enable you to reduce time, risk, and cost.

  6. SEASONAL DIFFERENCES
    Seasonal differences to Europe and US, and time differences (our Australia lab works while you sleep)Seasonal differences between Australia and Europe or the US allow for yearlong participant recruitment for trials involving seasonal illnesses such as flu or allergies and allows researchers to cover seasonal variations in patient recruitment.

  7. HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT
    Australian clinical practices and some aspects of its health care system are similar to the United States, United Kingdom and most of Europe.

  8. DIVERSE PARTICIPANT RECRUITMENT
    The willingness of potential participants and their knowledge of clinical trials is another attractive option for sponsors to conduct trials in Australia.

    A mixed population of Caucasians and Asian adds diversity to the participant pool and enables ethnicity differences in treatment response to be studied.
