The sites in these areas provide a unique combination of research and treatment-naïve population of patients, diverse representative ethnicity and medical expertise and infrastructure for trials. 

Furthermore, international pharmaceutical firms, which intend to carry out clinical research in the merged geography, would benefit from the collaboration between the companies.

BioDev and ACTS will progress to deliver their services to their clients separately who do not require delivery from the merged geography.

BioDev provides a complete suite of contract research organisation (CRO) and consulting services to biopharmaceutical firms globally.

ACTS is a specialised CRO with extensive expertise in conducting trials, with a special focus on SSA.
