Chesapeake IRB announced it has acquired MaGil IRB, a central IRB located in Rockville, Md.
The MaGil acquisition provides Chesapeake with additional AAHRPP-accredited review capacity and a talented staff that further broadens Chesapeake’s presence for CROs, pharmaceutical companies and biotech companies. This marks Chesapeake’s fifth acquisition of an AAHRPP-accredited IRB since 2013, further positioning itself as the best IRB to support the growth in the clinical research industry.
“Today we are delighted to welcome MaGil IRB to the Chesapeake family,” Jeff Wendel, president and CEO of Chesapeake said. “Together, we are even better positioned to deliver unparalleled human subject protections and oversight and exceptional client service.”
“Joining with Chesapeake allows MaGil customers to benefit from Chesapeake’s innovative cloud-based IRB platform, CIRBI, while continuing the joint mission of safeguarding the rights and welfare of clinical research participants,” said Gil Price, co-founder and CEO of MaGil IRB.
