The global CRO Cromsource has opened a new office in Research Triangle Park – home to many current and potential clients – after growing more than 150% over the two years, says COO.

The global contract research organization (CRO) – which has headquarters in Waltham, MA and Verona, Italy – has opened a newly expanded office in Cary, NC.

The office, featuring room to grow, complements Cromsource’s two existing US locations, according to the company.

“Research Triangle Park is one of the fastest-growing areas in the US, particularly in the field of health care, and is home to many of our current and potential clients,” said Troy McCall, PhD, COO of Cromsource.

“Additionally, it has a high concentration of clinical research professionals, making it a very attractive area for growing organizations like Cromsource,” he told us.

In the US, the business has grown by more than 150% in the past two years, said McCall. Mainly in operations but also the commercial organization.

“We have experienced a large increase in the number of RFP’s from new and existing clients,” McCall added. “Those clients tell us they are looking for a CRO who can provide them with a greater level of flexibility than the large CRO’s, but still offer the scale and scope necessary to perform complex, global clinical trials.”
