Research Partnership Expands to France

London-based healthcare specialist Research Partnership has opened an office in Lyon, France, led by Associate Director Claire Fradet-Aubignat.

The firm, which also has offices in Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York and Singapore, supplies primary qual and quant market research and consulting services to the sector. It also runs RP Therapy Watch, which collects data from an online community of specialist physicians across the globe, enabling clients to monitor their market and competitors in real time.

Fradet-Aubignat (pictured) joined the firm's London office in 2013, with day-to-day management of all aspects of international MR; and was promoted to the role of AD two years ago. Earlier, she worked for FOP Healthcare in Paris as SRE, Healthcare, having begun her career as an intern at Ipsos. Her career to date has included conducting both qual and quant studies across a wide range of therapy areas, with a particular interest in oncology, vaccines and cardiovascular diseases.

In her new role, Fradet-Aubignat's remit is to grow and expand the Lyon office, while servicing existing clients based in France, Switzerland and Germany. Commenting on the expansion, founding Director Mark Jeffery said: 'We are delighted to have Claire spearheading this initiative, which demonstrates our ongoing commitment to servicing the European market. Having an office in France supports our long-term objectives to expand and grow the business in Europe and we hope to make announcements of further expansion in 2018 and beyond'.
