CROS NT, a patient-centric and data-driven CRO, has announced the opening of its new office in Bangalore, India. The Bangalore office is the fourth global office established by CROS NT in the last six years, including branches in Italy, Germany, the U.K. and the U.S.

“We are delighted we have added to our capability with a new team in India,” said Andrew MacGarvey, CEO of CROS NT. “With the Bangalore location, CROS NT is now able to provide a valuable resource in response to our customers' needs. We are now operating over an extended day, which offers Sponsors almost 24-hour access to our project teams. It is very exciting to take our company into a new region and we have further plans in regard to the Asia-Pacific region which will build on this move.”

Expanding to the Asia-Pacific region, particularly to India, is part of CROS NT’s growth strategy to tap into the extensive talent pool in the region. The additional resourcing and extended geographic reach allows CROS NT to meet the growing needs of its client base looking for expert, talented resources for data-centric outsourcing solutions.

“Our approach to this venture is to embed CROS NT's core values in the new team which reflects our commitment to quality and innovative solutions in the market,” said CROS NT Chairman Paolo Morelli. “This ensures trusted and collaborative partnerships with our customers that meet or exceed their clinical study expectations.”

The geographic expansion also comes at a time when CROS NT has widened its service offering to include a full-service model that combines expert biometrics with clinical operations and monitoring.
