Press Release Summary: Mark Lanfear, Regional Manager of Kforce-Roche Strategic
Alliance at Roche will be speaking at GTCbio's Global Clinical Trial Operations
conference on September 25-26, 2008 in San Diego, CA. Mr. Lanfear will present on
outsourcing clinical trials in emerging regions.

Press Release Body: Project Timelines, Cost, Global Marketing, and Patient Safety
all drive the industry toward more efficient and superior trials. But how do you
increase scope, size and flexibility while battling increased timelines, sky rocking
costs, and decreased availability of appropriate subjects? Dr. Lanfear will discuss
and enlighten participants on the people, places, markets, and governmental agencies
that will partner with them in finding and securing success with their trials. Every
market doesn't fit every study, and not all companies and programs are a fit for the
Limited Entry, Billion Dollar and Over Powering China Market. He will provide
reasoning to pursue emerging markets and the process by which to get there including
the main drivers, advantages, and the challenges.

The Global Clinical Trial Operations conference brings together leaders, directors,
vice presidents, heads, managers, supervisors, and CROs
from all over the world to collaborate and discuss the latest developments in
clinical trial operations and logistics and covers clinical trials in emerging
markets, first-in-man clinical trials, pediatric clinical trials, material storage,
distribution, site selection, patient recruitment and retention, technology in
clinical trials and case studies of running global clinical trials.
