INC Research Enhances Global Reach with Zurich Office



    INC Research, a therapeutically-focused contract research
    organization with a trusted process for delivering reliable results,
    announced today the opening of a new office in Zurich, Switzerland.
    Located at Flora-Str. 44, CH-8032, Zurich, the facility will serve as
    an additional base of clinical operations in Europe and allow for
    substantial future expansion in the region going forward.

    Dr. Hans Joerg Moebius, senior vice president of the CNS practice
    for INC Research, will oversee the Zurich office, from where he will
    manage the overall strategic development and ongoing operations of the
    European CNS staff and business. The Zurich location will also be a
    strong base of operations for the company's oncology, infectious
    disease and pediatrics business units.

    Kelvin Logan, PhD, President of INC Research Europe, stated, "Our
    international base of operations has expanded strategically this last
    year, with the addition of several new offices in Central, Eastern and
    Western Europe. Our Zurich office brings us to 16 offices in 14
    countries across Europe. With strong leadership such as that provided
    by Dr. Moebius in Zurich, we will continue to expand our corporate
    footprint around the globe in areas that provide access to sites and
    patients critical to supporting our pharma and biotech customers."

    "Zurich is an epicenter of European biotechnology and
    pharmaceutical innovation. INC Research saw the need for a trusted,
    experienced contract research organization with top clinical personnel
    and data analysts here to meet the growing demands of these
    businesses," said Dr. Moebius. "This new location will allow INC
    Research to further solidify and expand our presence within the world
    CRO market."
