Russian CRO Synergy Research Group (SynRG) has made its next move to create a global CRO alliance, forming a partnership with Neeman Medical International, an India-based CRO. The alliance will focus on providing international sponsors with monitoring and site and data management services. Neeman Medical was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in New Delhi.

The CRO has about 70 investigative sites in 17 locations across the country, with access to more than 600 trained investigators. In August, SynRG formed a similar alliance with Costa Mesa, Calf.-based Promedica International.

“Our next target is to find a partner in China. We’ve recently taken part in the Russian- Chinese Forum on Biotechnological and Pharmaceutical Industries, and have established a number of good promising contacts,” said Igor Stefanov, director of business development at SynRG.
