Cgutsell — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 14:30:42 +0000

Biopharmaceutical company Quintiles is looking to establish more UK sites, creating pharmaceutical and clinical jobs, reports pharmatimes.com.

The US company sees the UK as a good place for clinical trials and is hoping to open at least two more Prime Sites to go alongside the one at Queen Mary, University of London. Including two other current sites, Quintiles employs 2,000 people in the UK, a figure set to rise with the planned opening of the new Prime Sites.

Lindy Jones, Quintiles head of global integrated site services, says the UK is of “significant interested to us,” with fifty trials currently being run at the Queen Mary site. Jones believe that the UK “has opened up far more to clinical research” in the past eighteen months, meaning that Quintiles is considering opening “an additional two, maybe three Prime Sites in the UK.”

Cgutsell — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 11:43:46 +0000

Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly has signed a new five-year agreement with Thermo Fisher Scientific which could cut pharmaceutical jobs in America.

As part of the deal, by summer 2010 the Fisher Clinical Services business of Thermo Fisher will be taking responsibility for Eli Lilly’s in-house clinical trial materials manufacturing, packaging and labelling operations. Not only this, but by the end of 2010, Fisher Clinical Services will handle the distribution of clinical trial materials for Lilly throughout North America.

Speaking of the move, Ralph Lipp, PhD, Vice President of Pharmaceutical Sciences Research and Development for Lilly, said, “Transitioning work like the manufacturing, packaging and labeling of clinical trial materials to Fisher Clinical Services helps us also reach Lilly’s corporate goals of reducing the costs of drug development and speeding innovative medicines to patients.”

As a result of this agreement, Lily is to cut approximately 115 pharmaceutical jobs from it’s workforce. Those employees effected will be given the opportunity to apply for pharmaceutical jobs with Fisher Clinical Services.
