Their teams are experienced in working on global studies and are used to working in English. LSK’s in depth knowledge and experience of Korea is especially important as there are still many aspects of Korean clinical trial management that require a different approach compared with the rest of the world. Our partnership with LSK means that together, George Clinical and LSK have operational reach in South Korea, China, Taiwan, South East Asia, New Zealand and Australia.

South Korea has population of over 50 million people and a pharmaceutical market valued close to USD20 billion. There are many government and industrial initiatives to develop South Korea’s medical research capability and as such, excellent infrastructure and incentives are available. Indeed, South Korea is recognized as one of the Asian hubs of medical research. It currently ranks within the top 20 countries globally for the highest number of clinical trials.
