significant division for the CRO.
“Nick was the obvious choice to step into this
senior management role in oncology,” said John

CRO and oncology perspectives by industry publications and conferences.
“I am thrilled to be working with a CRO that
is as passionate about oncology drug development as I am,”
said Kenny. “INC Research has developed an

service and depth of expertise the oncology practice offers to support
our customers in bringing forward new treatments for cancer patients.”
