Your Local CRO Partner in the BioHealth Capital Region

Baltimore anchors the greater Baltimore/Washington D.C. metropolitan area as a key biotech hub, home to more than 350 commercial biotech companies and attracting national attention for its high education attainment levels and strength of research institutions. Johns Hopkins University consistently ranks first among academic institutions in research and development expenditures, while Maryland hosts more than 500 core bioscience companies with the highest concentration of doctoral scientists, engineers, and biological scientists in the nation.

The region is strategically positioned near federal research and regulatory agencies including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA), alongside industry giants like AstraZeneca and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Recent investments totaling $325 million from companies like Bora Pharmaceuticals ($75 million) and Syngene International’s acquisition of Emergent BioSolutions’ Bayview facility ($50 million) demonstrate growing confidence in Baltimore’s biotech ecosystem. Innovative companies like KaloCyte, Fzata, Glyscend Therapeutics, and InfinityBio are developing breakthrough artificial blood cells, oral biologics, and autoantibody analysis platforms, all requiring specialized preclinical services to advance their drug development programs.
