This efficient analysis service enables clients to advance studies to the next phase much faster, and clearly differentiates our bioanalytical laboratories and clinical pharmacology units as centres of excellence.
Our early development services group is committed to the highest standards of clinical excellence and scientific expertise. We operate state-of-the-art clinical research centres in the Netherlands and North America as well as an innovative patient pharmacology model in Central and Eastern Europe, providing the biopharmaceutical industry with a unique scientific environment required for complex compound development and testing.
For more than 30 years, we have been supporting phase II-III clinical development for sponsors across a range of compounds, from niche treatments to blockbuster drugs and biosimilars treatments. Through our global reach, innovative technologies, flexible approach and scientific expertise, we help you navigate your R&D dilemmas by skillfully executing complex, global studies across a range of therapeutic areas.
As the pioneer of the Embedded Solutions™ model, we have mastered the art of elegant transformation as sponsors re-align their operating model to more efficiently manage their development portfolio with greater flexibility and control. Our custom-built development solutions empower companies with limited infrastructure to leverage our extensive experience to bring innovative new approaches that enhance quality, streamline development processes and improve efficiency. For those sponsors desiring a functional service provider (FSP) model, we bring years of experience in this method.

We are a global leader specialising in all phases of diagnostic research, from discovery, development and validation, to commercialisation, with experts on staff to conduct research in the US, EU and Asia Pacific regions. Our diverse experience in this area provides our clients with a level of comfort because we understand that these are not drug development studies. We understand the importance of clinical in-vitro diagnostic and biomarker research for the greater good of healthcare. Our central monitoring approach and comprehensive knowledge of the regulatory environments help to speed up study timelines, focus on patient outcomes and optimise your clinical sample quality.
PRA Health Sciences (PRA) was founded in 1976 as the Anti-Inflammatory Drug Study Group in Charlottesville, Virginia, US. Renamed PRA in 1982, we established ourselves as a data-management contract research organisation (CRO). After a number of strategic decisions to enhance our service offerings, we became PRA Health Sciences in June 2014, incorporating partnerships and acquisitions formed throughout the previous two years.
