QUARTESIAN: Our Story
+1.609.454.3312
Quartesian LLC was formed in January 2003 and is
headquartered in Princeton, N.J. with the goal of
providing world-class clinical development services to
its clients. This is accomplished by adhering to the
founding principles of excellence, integrity and value.
The founding members of Quartesian rely not only on
their technical expertise, but also on their experience
as past clients of clinical service providers.
Quartesian prides itself on its flexibility, responsiveness, adherence to client
specifications and timelines for all projects conducted anywhere in the world.
Now in our tenth year, we have worked for over 50 pharmaceutical,
biotechnology and medical device companies.
Quartesian opened an office in Kharkov, Ukraine in 2003. In 2004, Quartesian
LLC added Quartesian Clinical Research Pvt. Ltd in Bangalore, India which is a
wholly owned subsidiary. Both of these strategic additions were made to take
advantage of the local pools of highly skilled employees in geographic locations
which significantly add to our value proposition. Quartesian opened two offices
in Southern California (2010) for patient recruitment and business development.
Corporate headquarters remains in Princeton, N.J.
