London, UK
Two of the UK’s leading institutions - Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London - have signed a collaborative agreement with Quintiles, a fully integrated biopharmaceutical services company offering clinical, commercial, consulting and capital solutions worldwide. This collaboration is a step towards increasing efficiency in early stage clinical research.
As part of the agreement, Quintiles has commissioned a research facility with 30 beds, for both patients and healthy volunteers involved in research, on the 14th floor of Guy’s Hospital in central London. The facility, to be completed in early 2010, will now be known as the Quintiles Drug Research Unit at Guy’s Hospital. The facility significantly increases Quintiles’ capacity to conduct proof-of-concept programmes that help biopharmaceutical companies develop medicines.
