“Our clients will benefit from the years of industry knowledge we jointly bring to the table.  With so much recent activity in life sciences, we anticipate industry expansion on the east coast, particularly in the Boston, Maryland, and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina areas.  Our firms’ combined  global reach and international capabilities will strengthen our candidate pool immensely.” said Mark Soufleris.
