LabConnect puts new HQ in Durham

LabConnect, a central laboratory solutions company, has opened a new corporate headquarters in Durham. The new Durham office is located in a multi-tenant office building at 5425 Page Road, near the Highway 54 intersection.

The new office will serve as a strategic base for executive leadership, commercial, operational, and technology teams as LabConnect supports an expanding portfolio of clinical trials worldwide.

The company, in an announcement, said that the Research Triangle region is a great place to establish a headquarters for its business, as it has “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.”

“With this new 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. 

The Durham 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 Durham office, with additional commercial leadership, project management, scientific operations, technology, and data science personnel.
