Advarra, the premier provider of institutional review board, institutional biosafety committee, and research quality and compliance consulting services in North America, acquired Quorum, one of the most preferred central IRBs in the U.S. and Canada. The transaction also includes Quorum’s research and technology consulting division, Kinetiq. “Quorum is known across the research community for integrity, innovation, regulatory expertise, and client service excellence,” said Pat Donnelly, CEO of Advarra. “Their organizational culture and values are the perfect complement to Advarra, and we look forward to sharing best practices to build altogether better capabilities that serve clients and protect research participants.”
