PPD Expands Austin Operation

PPD Inc. has relocated its Phase I clinic and Phase I-III central lab in Austin, Texas, to a larger facility. The new facility is 128,000 square feet, twice the size of the previous site, and provides greater capacity to handle more projects simultaneously. The move was prompted by increased demand for PPD's management of early phase clinical studies in Austin, the Wilmington-based company said.
