Quintiles Expands R&D in NC

Quintiles Transnational Corp. will open an office in Wilmington, NC, expanding the company’s clinical research in pharmaceutical and biotechnology development. The company opened a data processing center in Williamston, NC last January.
   
“With a strong educational system and a positive environment for business, North Carolina is clearly the leading location for global clinical research organizations,” said Mike Mortimer, executive vice president and chief administrative officer. “We were founded in the Research Triangle more than 25 years ago, and we’ve fueled our growth by tapping into an excellent workforce like that in North Carolina, with people committed to improving health care around the world. Our employees find Quintiles to be a place for fulfilling, rewarding work and in return they are driving the company to great success.”
