PAREXEL International Corporation opened in May a new office in Shenyang, China to support client demand for clinical development capabilities in the region.

AsianScientist (June 3, 2013) – PAREXEL International Corporation opened in May a new office in Shenyang, China to support client demand for clinical development capabilities in the country and throughout the Asia Pacific region.

The office further expands PAREXEL’s presence in China, which includes locations in Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hong Kong.

PAREXEL now has 22 offices in the Asia Pacific region, which in addition to China, includes a presence in Australia, Japan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

“Given the globalization of clinical trials today and the continuing shift of drug development activity from West to East, China has become an important strategic destination for PAREXEL’s clients and business,” said Mark Goldberg, PAREXEL’s President and COO.

“With the opening of the Shenyang operation hub in China, PAREXEL commits to continuing to expand its service scope and local expertise. The office also further reinforces our social investment in the region through a collaboration with Shenyang Pharmaceutical University to train graduates on clinical trial conduct, data management and pharmacovigilance knowledge.”

As part of the initiative, the PAREXEL Academy will offer graduates and alumni of Shenyang Pharmaceutical University’s School of Life Science and Biopharmaceuticals opportunities to work alongside PAREXEL staff who are involved in regional and global clinical studies.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with PAREXEL, one of the CRO industry leaders,” said Professor Jing-Yu Yang, Dean of Shenyang Pharmaceutical University. “The collaboration will not only provide our Clinical Pharmacy students with the opportunity to learn about new drug development, but it will also create a foundation for research and cultivation of the next generation of talent.”
