Medpace, Inc. recently announced the opening of additional Medpace offices in Scotland and Italy, bringing the total number of Medpace offices to ten across Europe. In addition, Medpace has appointed additional leadership for these countries and offices.

The Medpace Scotland office is led by Ellie Robertson, providing safety services for clinical operations in Europe as well as clinical trial management, clinical monitoring, and clinical regulatory submission services. The Medpace Milan office, led by Vincenzo Lopreiato, Country Manager, will facilitate and support the conduct of clinical studies in this important country.

Rounding out the European group, Medpace welcomes Helena Lüning as a Country Manager for Sweden where she will lead the clinical operations team in Stockholm.

The addition of these clinical experts and new offices will support an expansive Medpace European group, led by Dr. Dieter Seitz-Tutter, Vice President, Europe, in the delivery of therapeutic study direction, full-service monitoring, and trial management services in tandem with existing European offices. Continuing to invest in organic growth in Europe supports Medpace's ability to deliver seamless integration and quality global operation procedures for sponsors.

"Medpace is a global organization known for full-service, therapeutically-driven operations in the United States, however, with a quickly expanding European group of clinical expertise and infrastructure, Medpace will be able to replicate excellence in service for global studies,? said Dr. Seitz-Tutter, Vice President, Europe. ?Medpace continues to grow to support clinical studies conducted in Europe, and investment for these initiatives is an ongoing process."

Medpace, a US-based, midsized, therapeutically specialized clinical research organization, has expanded in both emerging markets and Europe, particularly in oncology, cardiovascular, and metabolic studies. The addition of this country specific leadership enables Medpace to support its European sponsors and facilitate growth on a global platform.
