Built by scientists.
Trusted by innovators.
A decade ago, MRD Medical was founded on a simple premise: contract research should accelerate discovery, not bottleneck it. Today, that mission is alive in every assay, every dataset, and every partnership we build.
From a single bench in Boston
to a global CRO network.
MRD Medical began in 2014 as a specialized discovery biology consultancy serving a handful of early-stage biotech clients. Our founders โ three PhD scientists with combined experience at Genentech, Novartis, and the Broad Institute โ saw a recurring problem: contract research organizations often traded speed for quality, or transparency for cost.
We built MRD Medical as the alternative. Every study we run is designed by a senior scientist, executed by a PhD-led team, and reported with the same standards we'd demand for our own programs. A decade later, we partner with 200+ biotech and pharmaceutical companies across 18 countries โ but our operating principles haven't changed.
Today, our integrated platforms span target validation, hit finding, structural biology, in vivo pharmacology, and AI-driven design. Our compliance frameworks (ISO 9001, ISO 17025, GLP, GMP) are audit-ready, and our scientific team has grown to 30+ PhD researchers across two continents.
What guides every study we run.
Scientific Integrity
Honest data, rigorous controls, transparent reporting โ always.
Speed With Rigor
Faster timelines do not have to mean softer science. They demand smarter systems.
Partnership Mindset
We treat every program as if it were our own โ long-horizon thinking, every time.
Continuous Innovation
AI, automation, and novel modalities are not buzzwords โ they are daily tools.
Scientists leading scientists.
