PACRA was launched in 2009 out of the recognition that whilst there are a number of organizations offering a variety of training, education, services and information to clinical research professionals on a global basis, there was no single organization providing such services with a dedicated focus on Asia. PACRA’s focus is to help further the advancement of all aspects of clinical research training, education, services and news / information within this defined geographical remit.
