Accutest Global: Addressing the Need for CRO in Clinical Research

CIO Vendor Although India is home to 15 percent of the world’s total population and 20 percent of the global disease burden, yet less than two percent of the world’s clinical trials take place in India. This is mainly because of the regulatory uncertainty of the conduct of clinical trials across the country, especially the bioavailability and bioequivalence (BA/BE) studies. These affect the growth of the Contract Research Organization (CRO) industry and also causes a major ramification for the future research and developments (R&D) taking place in India. Navi Mumbai based, Accutest Research Laboratories wasn’t too late to realize these challenges of the pharmaceutical industry and thus it started with addressing the end-to-end clinical research requirements of the Pharma organizations.
