Québec-April 16th, 2018 : DIEX Group announces the acquisition of the Quebec Multi-Soins clinic in a transaction that will allow the company specializing in conducting clinical research projects to consolidate and expand its expertise.

This transaction stems from an increased desire to locate in the Québec City area and an increase in operational efficiency. DIEX research and the Multi-Soins clinic shared since Fall 2017 the same premises on Montmagny street. Although they were conducting separate clinical research projects, the two companies shared the same research investigator, Dr. André Fréchette.

The Mutli-Soins clinic, in operation since 2009 and directed by Dr. André Fréchette, serves the population of the Saint-Vallier district not only through research projects, but also through travel vaccination and sampling services.

The established clientele of the Multi-Soins Clinic will be able to continue to benefit from vaccination and sampling services in one place. These will be provided by DIEX Research starting April 16th. Ongoing research projects will be supported by the DIEX Research Medical Team and remain under the responsibility of Dr. Fréchette. The follow-up and the services offered to the patients therefore remain the same for the existing clientele.

Why not have look?

Among more than 200 applications that were submitted to the 2015 « Desjardins Entrepreneurs » prize, Suzie Talbot was selected as the grand regional winner in the Quebec center region in the category « Femme d’influence » (Women of Influence).

President and CEO of Diex Research, it is thanks to her motivation, leadership and open mind that Diex has an enviable reputation of excellence. All of the Diex team is very proud to work with a competent woman, which manages the company’s activities with passion.

Suzie Talbot is part of the 29 finalists that will get together in Montreal on October 14, where the final national winners will be announced in the 10 different categories.

On July 9 2015, we heard Maureen O’Connor’s story on TVA news (French only) who’s life was saved by clinical research. A 2,6cm aneurysm that could have ruptured at any moment and give only 30 seconds to live to the woman was detected by the study’s MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). This story that made the news is not an isolated case. A lot of people participate in clinical trials in order to benefit from the tight medical monitoring and advanced diagnostics tests such as an MRI. These tests are free of charge for the participants and sometimes lead to the discovery of a life threatening disease that can be treated before being fatal. Clinical research saves lives and prevents the worse!

Today is a very special day for Diex.

9 years ago, Mrs Suzie Talbot and Mr. Jean-François Lessard founded DIEX Research Sherbrooke. After a lot of time and commitment from the whole team, some from almost the beginning, we are very proud of what DIEX has become .

We would like to highlight all the work of the founders to create a human company of worldwide reputation.

A big HAPPY BIRTDAY for DIEX and we will celebrate several anniversaries of this great company!

On Saturday April 18, DIEX participated in the 8th Desranleau Challenge in Sherbrooke. The challenge is used to defray the costs of the Global Health Program at the school of the same name. This program reminds students of the importance of healthy lifestyles; it allows them to reach full development not only in intellectual terms but also in their physical health and learning healthy habits. Promoting healthy life habits being one of the values of DIEX, employees participated in the event under the theme “trip around the world.” You will see that the team made a stop in Jamaica. Although the purpose of the activity is to raise funds and not to win, DIEX is proud of its 3rd place among the different participating companies.

On February 20, the 2015 edition of the “Gala Reconnaissance Estrie” event took place. DIEX is very proud to be a laureate in the “service enterprise” category. It is with even more pride that our two founders and owners, Mrs. Suzie Talbot and Mr. Jean-François Lessard, received a special recognition prize, “Rayonnement provincial” (provincial effulgence). Congratulations to all the team and let’s continue building on this momentum!

DIEX participated in the 2015 edition of the BioDevtech contest to win an admission to international congress, BIO. Among the 5 winning companies, DIEX was one of them! It is with great excitement that the development team prepares for this event which will aim to discover new companies that could bring new treatment options to the population of Quebec.

Last November, Diex Research Montreal at its oncology center, invested time and energy in a new study and impressed the industry by being the first center in the world to recruit a subject. The company that worked with Diex stated : « Your team has shown great leadership and your fast action, patient oriented approach made it happen!” The team can be proud of this accomplishment and works hard in order to be able to present other good news like this one in a near future!

Diex is pleased to present the picture of a commemorative award of recognition for excellence in one of its studies. Congrats to all the team and a special mention for the Study Coordinator Ms. Erasmienne Tambou !
