The formal announcement will be made at BIO Taiwan, in the Australian Pavilion, at the Taipei International Convention Centre (July 26 – 28). Book a meeting with the Avance Clinical team attending BIO Taiwan.

This strategic move underscores Avance Clinical's commitment to the Asia market, which is an attractive region for biotechs to access patients during their clinical trial development.

Avance Clinical CEO Yvonne Lungershausen said she was extremely pleased to have Jessica Han lead Avance Clinical’s Asia operations.

“With over 17 years of experience in the healthcare and clinical research industry, and a deep understanding of the Asian market, and in particular the Korean market, Jessica Han is set to drive Avance Clinical's operations and strategic initiatives across Asia,” Lungershausen said.

Han’s career began as a registered nurse in the critical care unit at Samsung Medical Center, where she focused on patient care and clinical research. Transitioning into the clinical trial sector, she has worked in various roles at leading contract research organizations in the region, such as Parexel, PRA Health Sciences (now ICON), and Novotech.

On her decision to join Avance Clinical, Han stated, "I was drawn to Avance Clinical because of its innovative approach to clinical trial management and its commitment to high-quality service delivery”.

“I was particularly impressed by Avance Clinical’s strategic focus on scaling up its operations in the region and its strong reputation for excellence in clinical research. I am eager to contribute to the company’s growth and support its strategy to further expand in this dynamic market, driving successful clinical trials and fostering new business opportunities in Asia,” she said.

“In the region, Avance Clinical is known for its tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of biotech companies and importantly, its commitment to quality that ensures the integrity and reliability of trial outcomes. Avance Clinical's demonstrated scientific and regulatory expertise streamlines the approval process, reducing timelines and accelerating project delivery. These comprehensive and client-focused services make Avance Clinical a leader in the industry, which aligns perfectly with my passion for advancing clinical research,” Han said.

Lungershausen said, "The decision to establish clinical operations in Seoul reflects the increasing demand from biotechs and CRO partners who seek access to South Korea’s scientific excellence and diverse patient populations. Our new presence in South Korea also offers a strategic advantage for our CRO partners conducting multi-regional or global trials.”

The expansion into South Korea and Asia aligns with Avance Clinical's GlobalReady drug development solution, which has already garnered significant interest from over 75 Korean biotechs and pharmaceutical companies. "There is a clear need for Korean clinical operations that provide a global pathway," Lungershausen added.

The Asia expansion enhances Avance Clinical’s capability to offer world-class clinical research services, adding to its seamless coverage across the globe, and high-quality data that meets key standards of major regulatory authorities, including the MFDS and FDA. This move will facilitate Asian biotechs' access to Avance Clinical's robust services in Australia and the United States, further accelerating their drug development programs.

"Our teams across Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the United States deliver exceptional quality data and operational excellence, positioning our biotech clients for success in their clinical trials," she said.
