Parexel Chairman Josef von Rickenbach on Shifting CRO Models In Asia For Efficient Drug Development: An Interview With PharmAsia News (Part 1 of 2)

Roughly two-thirds of the contract research organization Parexel's $1.1 billion 2010 revenue base was outside of the U.S., including about 12 percent in the Asia/Pacific region, and Chairman and CEO Josef von Rickenbach expects its share of APAC business to increase. In Tokyo for a day-long Parexel seminar to draw new clients in Japan, von Rickenbach and VP-Asia/Pacific Albert Liou spoke with PharmAsia News' Tokyo bureau about the company's shifting client base in Asia and the evolving partnership model in the CRO market.
