ROCKVILLE, Md., May 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Emmes today announced that it was ranked as the seventh largest biosciences employer in the greater Washington area.  The ranking is compiled annually by the Washington Business Journal.

“We provide the backbone of support to both government and biopharmaceutical companies involved in developing treatments and vaccines associated with a wide range of diseases and disorders,” said Dr. Anne Lindblad, president and chief executive officer.  “Our operational, data management, regulatory, safety,  statistical and data analysis support for clinical trials and human health research is highly valued, and the result is continued growth.  This means promoting employees, giving people more opportunities for job expansion and flexibility, and adding new staff.”
