Singapore, Feb 09, 2012: To help biopharmaceutical companies navigate the complexities of the Asia market, Quintiles has launched two unique services that will help increase the probability of success in developing and commercializing new medications in the region.

Quintiles new Strategic Drug Development organization was designated specifically to help BioPharma companies design and implement drug development strategies that take into account the Asia product commercialization opportunity and regulatory hurdles in advance of the standardized development process.

Also launched today is Quintiles Consulting practice in Asia, led by Christian Gabel, Ph.D., Vice President and Head of Consulting at Quintiles Asia.

The consulting group will help customers navigate the New Health by linking business strategy, industry expertise and data-driven insights within six practice areas to deliver transformational change.
