Syneos Health Inc
A biopharmaceutical services company that helps drugmakers and biotech firms run clinical trials and get new medicines to market. Born in 2018 from the merger of clinical-research firm INC Research and commercialization specialist inVentiv Health, it manages everything from early-stage testing to marketing new drugs. Its name blends "syn" for synchronizing clinical and commercial work with "neo" for a new approach — and its HQ in Raleigh, North Carolina, now serves clients across dozens of countries.
