For 25 years, Richmond Pharmacology has been helping sponsors translate scientific discovery into early phase clinical research.

Founded in 2001, Richmond has grown from a single clinical research unit into an internationally recognised early phase clinical research organisation. Today, we support studies across more than 20 therapeutic areas and have contributed to landmark programmes, including the world's first systemically delivered CRISPR-Cas9 therapy.

As we celebrate this milestone, we are reflecting on the people, partnerships and scientific progress that have shaped our journey over the past quarter of a century.

A Message from Professor Jörg Taubel

To mark Richmond's 25th anniversary, Executive Chairman Professor Jörg Taubel reflects on the company's journey, the principles that have guided it since its founding and the opportunities that lie ahead.

"Over 500 early-phase studies later, what excites me most is how much more there is still to do. The science entering early phase research is becoming more ambitious and complex, bringing new possibilities for patients and new responsibilities for all of us involved in translating those discoveries into clinical research."
