Your Local CRO Partner in the Research Triangle

Research Triangle Park, the nation’s largest and most prestigious R&D business park, is home to more than 275 global companies and has become one of the biggest biotech hubs in the U.S. North Carolina is home to 810 life sciences companies that directly employ 75,000 people, with the life sciences industry generating more than $88 billion annually for the state’s economy. Since 2018, nearly 30 life sciences companies have invested $8.9 billion in the region and pledged to create nearly 7,000 new jobs.

The region is anchored by three tier-one research universities – Duke University, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State University – which brought in $1.9 billion in National Institutes of Health funding in 2023 alone. Major pharmaceutical companies including Eli Lilly, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Thermo Fisher Scientific, FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, Biogen, and Novo Nordisk have significant operations in the Triangle. Innovative biotech companies like Kriya Therapeutics, Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Endpoint Clinical, and Pathalys Pharma are developing breakthrough gene therapies and specialty pharmaceuticals, all requiring specialized preclinical services to advance their drug development programs.
