LabConnect announced the opening of its new corporate headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina, expanding its presence in the fast-growing Research Triangle region—a major hub for contract research organizations, biotechnology firms, and pharmaceutical companies. The Raleigh office will function as a strategic hub for executive leadership as well as commercial, operational, and technology teams, supporting LabConnect’s continued growth and its expanding role in managing complex clinical trials around the world.
Raleigh Durham and the Research Triangle region have emerged as one of the most dynamic life sciences ecosystems in the country, powered by top-tier research universities, a highly skilled workforce, and a dense network of CROs, biotech firms, and pharmaceutical companies. LabConnect’s presence in the region will enhance collaboration with sponsors and CRO partners, accelerate innovation in central lab services, and create new opportunities to pilot advanced sample management, data integration, and technology-enabled solutions close to our clients.
“With this new Raleigh office, we are exactly where our customers are making some of their most important decisions about drug development,” said Wes Wheeler, Chief Executive Officer of LabConnect. “RDU has become one of the world’s most important centers for pharmaceutical innovation, and establishing a stronger corporate presence here allows us to partner even more closely with our clients, attract exceptional talent, and help speed the development of new medicines for patients in need.”
The Raleigh corporate office will complement LabConnect’s seven global operational locations which are adjacent to its partner laboratories supporting: North America, Latin America, Europe and the UK, Australia, China, and ultimately South Korea. The co-location of LabConnect’s operational facilities and its regional partners enables the company to better align scientific, operational, and data capabilities with the needs of emerging and large biopharmaceutical customers.
LabConnect plans to grow the Raleigh office in the coming years, with additional commercial leadership, project management, scientific operations, technology, and data science personnel. The investment reflects the company’s commitment to building a modern, collaborative workplace that leverages the strengths of the RDUÂ market while maintaining its global, asset light operating model and flexible partner lab network.
