“As innovation in the biopharma industry evolves-and with the emergence of personalized therapies and growing direct-to-patient trends-research and development activity will only increase around the world. Our cost-effective portfolio streamlines logistics for clinical trials into one global network across sometimes remote, hard-to-reach locations,” Habib N’Konou, UPS senior operations director for clinical trials, said in a statement. “With drug research taking years at a cost in the billions, a product loss or damage, including falling out of temperature range, could mean a costly setback. Our recent improvements to our network can help reduce product loss or damage.”
UPS currently has more than 50 healthcare-dedicated facilities globally. The company offers temperature-sensitive storage and transportation, round-the-clock monitoring and security, and a single global IT order management platform.
