Why choose Quintiles in Latin America?

In Latin America we provide fully integrated services for Phase I-IV studies including central laboratory services and report writing for US and European (FDA, EMEA, and ICH-GCP) regulatory submissions. Access to patients is rapid, and is concentrated in general tertiary hospitals and a few specialty hospitals with which Quintiles has long-standing relationships.

All of this makes Latin America a logical first choice for clinical trials. And we are the ones who make it work for you.

Latest Market Insight
The Fastest Growing Biotechnology Companies: Growth Strategies, Comparative Analyses and Company Profiles

In recent years, the biopharmaceutical industry has emerged as one of the most important sectors in the Healthcare industry. Advances in life sciences have resulted in the drug discovery process becoming more science-intensive, with an increasing emphasis cross-company collaborations and the exchange of information. However, growing commercial pressures and rising R&D costs have prompted many biotech companies to seek financial support from global Big Pharma corporations through licensing and collaborative R&D deals. Progressive enhancements in integration have subsequently led to traditional pharma companies becoming increasingly dependant upon the technology platforms and approaches adopted by biotech companies.
