Portugal has experienced two consecutive years of double-digit growth in company-sponsored clinical trials. It has become a highly attractive country for conducting clinical research by creating a modern network of centers of excellence, experienced research teams, and optimal infrastructure.  

"We are excited to grow our footprint in Europe with the opening of our office in Portugal," said TFS HealthScience CEO Bassem Saleh.
