Dear Colleagues,
 
The abundance of diversity in Brazil - whether racial, ethnic or socioeconomic - serves as one of several factors that have caused the country's biotech industry to boom. A primarily urban core provides clinical researchers with an abundance of subjects at their fingertips. Additionally, reduced costs as well as highly successful patient recruitment rates comparative to more developed countries have transformed Brazil into a dominant outsourcing location for clinical trials among emerging Latin American markets.
 
We have recently published an article in Informa Healthcare Clinical Research and Regulatory Affairs entitled "Addressing Issues Affecting Clinical Trials in Brazil" (June 2010, Vol. 27, No. 2, pp. 52-59) which provides a summary of the country's current clinical research environment.
The article includes a discussion on the linguistic, cultural, and socioeconomic factors that affect foreign-sponsored clinical research in Brazil. Are the translation requirements in Brazil simpler than those of Spanish-speaking Latin American countries? What is the ethnic composition of patients participating in clinical trials? How do socioeconomic factors affect clinical trials in the country? And what is the current regulatory approval process?

 
Take this opportunity to read the article available via the following link and we hope that it provides you with new and useful information.
 
As a language service provider for over fifteen years, we are well aware of the importance of accurate, quality translation, especially in the translation of clinical trial documents. Our life science experts have translation experience in over one hundred languages, including Brazilian, Portuguese and Latin-American Spanish. Not only are they native speakers, they also know the importance of incorporating cultural context.

Thank you for your time and interest. If you have any inquiries or comments regarding the article or our services, please do not hesitate to contact us or visit our website at www.languageconnections.com!
