(the "Company") (Nasdaq: PDGI), a leading provider of clinical development services to innovative pharmaceutical, biotechnology, generic drug and medical device companies, today announced the opening of a new office in Sao Paulo, Brazil to further enhance its Latin American presence.

PharmaNet has been providing clinical trial support in Latin America since 2002 with a network of field-based staff in Brazil, Mexico and Peru and an office in Argentina which opened in 2003.

I am thrilled about opening this office in Brazil which will enhance our infrastructure in the region."
