Wilmington-based contract research organization, PPD recently opened a new laboratory in Singapore. Southeast Asia thought of as a high-growth area for clinical research.
“Expanding our global central lab services into Singapore demonstrates our commitment to deliver high quality specimens and laboratory results for our clients in a growing biopharmaceutical market,” said Steve Lobel, vice president, global laboratory operations, PPD in a press release. “We can expedite delivery of lab data through reduced transportation and shipping time at better logistics costs for our clients.”

A secure Web site and common database links all of the global labs, which streamlines reporting and enables clients to access test results easily.
