WorldOne Opens Tokyo Office

New York, NY (September 1, 2010) - WorldOne, the global leader in online healthcare research and data collection, announced today the opening of its Tokyo office. With the addition of Tokyo, WorldOne boasts a network of eight worldwide locations offering localized support across the globe.

“We’ve spent the last two years expanding our local presence in Asia,” said Peter Kirk, Chief Executive Office of WorldOne. “First we established our Asian headquarters in Hong Kong, and now, the opening of our Tokyo office will further accelerate our panel development in Japan, a highly specialized market.”

Japan is the world’s second largest healthcare market and possesses one of the largest pharmaceutical industries outside of the US and Europe. Earlier this year, WorldOne also announced the opening of its Latin American headquarters in São Paulo Brazil, one of the world’s top seven pharmerging markets.

“We can now proudly say that the sun never sets on WorldOne,” stated Kirk. “This year alone we have expanded our footprint into two key healthcare markets, Brazil and Japan.”

As a leader in technological innovations, Japan also has one of the most advanced medical systems. WorldOne Tokyo will be directed by Katsuhiko Niga and Takahito Asano, who combined have over 25 years experience working within Japan’s unique healthcare system.

“Niga san and Asano san bring to WorldOne invaluable insight into Japan’s complex medical industry,” Kirk explained. “Utilizing their established relationships with numerous key opinion leaders, hospitals, pharmacies, and medical technology developers; we can expedite the development of our Asian resources to meet increased demand in the region.”

WorldOne’s Japanese panel offers access to expert opinions from all physician specialties as well as highly sought after medical specialists such as nurses, pharmacists, lab managers, dentists, optometrists and veterinarians.
