ACM Global Central Laboratory Officially 
Opens New Shanghai Lab Facility

ACM Global Central Laboratory, a diagnostic central laboratory delivering high-quality testing services that optimise clinical trial outcomes, today announced the official opening of its recently acquired Shanghai lab facility. ACM Shanghai is an element of ACM Global’s acquisition of Phoenix Pharma Central Services Pte. Ltd (Phoenix PCS), a premier central laboratory services provider for Asia-Pacific clinical trials. Leveraging existing staff and local knowledge from Phoenix PCS, the fully-operational lab enables ACM Global to provide support of clinical trials throughout Shanghai and beyond with increased speed and efficiency.

“The opening of our wholly-owned Shanghai lab facility follows the successful launch of ACM Singapore in June, further extending ACM Global’s network of operating labs in an increasingly important region for clinical research,” said Jerry Boxall, managing director, ACM Europe and Asia.

ACM Shanghai is 10,000ft2 in size and located within the Shanghai International Medical Zone of the city’s Pudong district. The purpose-designed lab facility houses cutting-edge instruments and equipment identical to ACM’s US and UK laboratories and provides a broad menu of safety and specialty testing, including chemistry, haematology, urinalysis, and immunology testing. Lee Chiew Yan, PhD, FRCPath, who joined ACM Global from Phoenix PCS as Director, Singapore and China Operations, oversees both the ACM Shanghai and Singapore facilities, including all staff and operations. She brings more than 20 years of experience in central laboratory operations within the Asia-Pacific region.
