Medpace

Medpace is a full-service contract research organization (CRO) founded in 1992 and headquartered in Cincinnati. The company supports the global development of medical therapeutics across every phase of clinical development, working with clients in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical device sectors. Its model combines therapeutic, regulatory and operational expertise within a single organization, and the firm positions itself as an extension of its clients' teams.

Scientific and clinical staff work across a range of technical domains, including clinical trial management, Phase I studies, regulatory affairs and patient recruitment. The company also operates in-house central and bioanalytical laboratories, an imaging core laboratory and a cardiac safety core laboratory, along with a dedicated Phase I unit and a clinical trial management system. These services allow personnel to contribute to studies from early-phase work through to endpoint assessment and laboratory analysis.

Medpace has maintained an organic-growth strategy rather than expanding through mergers and acquisitions, with an emphasis on team continuity and avoiding operational disruption. Personnel, offices and investigator relationships span four regions: North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific. The firm describes its approach as scientifically driven, combining local expertise with global resources to make complex clinical development seamless.
