JSS Medical Research provides the entire range of clinical research services to the global pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. The worldwide expansion is driven by the growing demands of its clients for presence in these countries. Presently the largest Canadian-owned CRO, JSS Medical Research has offices in Canada, Colombia, India and Poland with more than 300 full time employees.
Dr. John S Sampalis, President and CEO of JSS Medical Research said: 'The decision to acquire Bonne Santé was based on the excellent reputation of the Company built over 25 years, the highly regarded management and staff, established long-term hospital and investigator relations and customer-focused philosophy. While the spectrum of phase II – IV offerings of the two companies are comparable, Bonne Santé will now provide the foundation upon which we can leverage our expertise in late phase, post marketing, epidemiological and health economics / outcomes research to provide our clients with an enhanced spectrum of clinical research covering all pre- and post-marketing phases.
The acquisition will focus on the competitive advantages realized by the complementary geographical coverage of the two companies, operational efficiencies and international business development to expand client / patient service offerings. This expansion enables us to provide our services to our large pharmaceutical clients and their regional affiliates in Europe and surrounding regions. For our biotech clients the expansion will provide them with access to academics, key opinion leaders, investigators and that will facilitate the completion of their clinical development programs and access to the European markets.
Stella Boukas, COO at JSS Medical Research added: "The operational efficiencies realized through our merger and acquisition strategy will translate to expedited project completion without compromising quality."
