Backed by private equity firm Ampersand Capital Partners, the combined business is well-positioned for continued growth as it becomes a global leader in delivering end-to-end laboratory, consulting, and clinical development services with a focus in ophthalmology and the broader medical device market. Through the combination of the two companies, iuvo and PMI will be the only niched ophthalmology service provider able to support customers from the early pre-clinical and laboratory stages through all phases of clinical development within one integrated organization.

Shannon Stoddard, President and Owner of PMI, remarked "The PMI team is thrilled to join iuvo BioScience. Our company was formed nearly forty years ago with the sole focus of providing differentiated clinical research services to medical device and pharmaceutical companies across the globe. We have had an impressive track record of Sponsor approvals and look forward to continuing this trend as part of iuvo. Throughout the years, our Sponsors have remarked that when working with PMI, they consider our team to be more than a vendor, but instead an integral part of their clinical department. This is the highest compliment we can receive, and we strive to earn this sentiment with each clinical project we undertake."
