The PAREXEL Clinical Pharmacology Research Unit in London, established more than 15 years ago, has been expanded to a 64-bed capacity. The unit has experience with all types of Phase I studies, including pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies, and has the ability to conduct PET studies, as well.

PAREXEL has two long-established Clinical Pharmacology Research Units in Berlin. With the recent expansion, the units now have 160 total beds.

PAREXEL also provides early clinical development programs through a joint venture arrangement with Synchron Research based in India. The Company's northern and southern hemisphere locations provide seasonal benefits for year-round studies, as well as access to specialized patient populations and the ability to conduct multi- site studies for parallel clinical development.
