PRA has moved its Mumbai, India office to a larger, more centrally located facility. The new location is triple the size and includes more offices and conference and meeting spaces, and will accommodate the Mumbai team of 20 clinical operations staff and allow for future expansion of the workforce. The company expects to have 50 clinical team members by the end of this year. PRA India will potentially increase its service capacity by 150% in comparison to September 2007.
   
"This is an exciting time for PRA," said Dr. Sue Stansfield, executive vice president, product registration, Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific. "The Mumbai team is a great example of PRA's global experience and therapeutic expertise. Their success in earning client trust and delivering service excellence has been key to the growth we're experiencing in India."
   
Services offered by staff in the Mumbai office include project management, clinical monitoring, clinical investigator identification and recruitment, study site selection and validation, submissions with EC/IRB and Regulatory Authorities, safety monitoring, pharmacy and drug depot services, and identification of service providers, including central laboratories accredited by the College of American Pathologists.
