About Us
A CRO Built on
Deep Expertise

Medical CRO was founded by a clinical research veteran with over 26 years of hands-on experience managing complex trials for global pharmaceutical corporations, emerging biotech startups, and every stage in between.

We are not a generalist CRO. We are a precision-focused clinical research partner with deep domain expertise in orthopedic and sports medicine — a specialized space that demands specific knowledge of device and biologic pathways, surgical endpoints, functional outcome measures, and the unique demands of musculoskeletal study design.

Headquartered in Boston, MA with established outposts in Frankfurt, Germany and Chișinău, Moldova, we offer our clients a truly global operational footprint without sacrificing the personal attention and scientific rigor that only a focused team can provide.

Regulatory Expertise FDA, EMA, and international regulatory strategy baked into every protocol from day one.
Global Site Networks Established investigator relationships across the USA, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe.
Large & Small Sponsor Experience From Fortune 500 pharma companies to Series A medical device startups.
Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Focus Specialized knowledge of musculoskeletal endpoints, surgical protocols, and PRO instruments.
