Irvine’s ResearchDx Signs Agreement With Micron, Inc.


ResearchDx, Inc. of Irvine, California and Micron Inc. of Tokyo, Japan have entered into an agreement for international collaborative clinical trials. The in vitro diagnostic development processes, laboratory and clinical services of ResearchDx will partner well with Micron’s imaging technologies.

Through the collaboration, companies in the US, Canada, the European Union, Central and Eastern Europe looking to conduct trials in Japan and the Asia Pacific region will be directed to Micron’s medical imaging solutions. Alternately, pharmaceutical and medical device companies from Japan, the Asia Pacific and Oceania regions will be sent to the clinical and laboratory services available through ResearchDx.

“Micron has established an environment to implement many multicenter imaging clinical trials, especially in Asian countries, including Japan and Korea. Through the comprehensive collaboration with ResearchDx, Micron will be able to broaden services beyond Asia to handle multinational, multicenter clinical trials and expand analysis services in clinical laboratory and diagnostics to the US and other countries,” said Principal Phil Cotter, FACMG, FFSc(RCPA)

As an imaging core lab, Micron’s performance has been acknowledged by many pharmaceutical companies in a wide array of imaging clinical trials with global standards of quality. Micron’s strengths are based on accumulated know-how in the fields of standardization of image acquisition techniques, ensured high quality image collection for reliable image reading, and smooth imaging clinical trial operations.
