Biocom CRO Initiative

Responding to the extraordinary growth of outsourcing in the life science industries and the expanding number of contract research organizations (CROs) in California, Biocom launched a CRO initiative that fosters the creation of an outsourcing community while identifying ways to connect companies to this expanding network.  Here is what we’re doing for our CRO members:

CRO Committee

This committee was formed to build a unique support network between industry companies and CROs. The committee is comprised of representatives that have expertise in discovery, development, manufacturing, clinical research and/or marketing of therapeutic, device and diagnostic products. Committee members help to identify ways that industry members can work with CROs to strategize about their specific needs.
