"Independent laboratory research for the global pharmaceutical industry is undoubtedly one of the most important spearheads for Analytico Medinet BV in the coming years." General Managing Director Wicher Wichers, in the booming business of medicine research, sees the possibility to make maximum use of the added value of the world-wide network of Analytico Medinet. "We offer added value in all sub-areas of both bio-analytical and clinical laboratory research. The sphere of activity begins with the required registration and culminates in the four phases of medical research. We work on order of large pharmaceutical companies, but meanwhile also serve the regional market of general practitioners and occupational health and safety services. Striking in all this is that our name enjoys greater awareness in the head offices of the pharmaceutical giants in America than in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe."
