TUSTIN, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2004--Integrium, a contract research organization, announced the opening of an operations office in Bedminster, N.J. This significant step expands Integrium's infrastructure to manage clinical trial projects for biopharmaceutical companies and reflects a continued commitment to responsive client service.
The Bedminster office will house project team staff to support workscopes managed by Integrium and will complement the operations staff based in the Tustin headquarters.

"Overall, this makes Integrium a stronger organization with an even higher ability to be responsive to our clients."

Altemose provides over 17 years of experience in clinical research, including significant managerial experience leading staff in executing clinical trial projects. "I look forward to building a strong team in the New Jersey office -- which will be complementary to our existing operations -- and to integrating this into a seamless service offering to our clients," commented Altemose.
