Syneos Health Acquires Illingworth Research Group
Syneos Health has announced the acquisition of Illingworth Research Group. Illingworth Research provides in-home and on-site research nursing services for clinical trials in more than 46 countries for the biopharmaceutical and medical device industries. With experience across Phase I–IV studies and a range of therapeutic areas including oncology, respiratory, rare disease and pediatrics, the Company also provides patient-focused CRO services.
