The Cohesion Effect: Where science,
strategy, and people come together
For 40 years, Rho has been more than just a contract research organization—we’ve been a trusted ally in clinical development, working alongside sponsors to advance science, improve patient outcomes, and bring new treatments to market. Our approach is rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and a deep commitment to excellence. We don’t just conduct trials—we build lasting partnerships, solve complex challenges, and make an impact where it matters most.
A team driven by purpose
Our Mission
To improve health, extend life, and enhance the quality of life via corporate and research excellence.
Values
Integrity
Strict adherence to a very high moral and ethical code is the keystone in Rho’s strong arch of core values. We demonstrate our integrity in relationships within Rho, beyond Rho, and in the manner in which we conduct scientific research and business. We behave honorably and honestly, take responsibility for our actions, forgive the honest mistakes of others, and treat others as we wish to be treated.
Profitability
Rho pursues profit because profitability enables us to achieve our other aims.
Great People
Rho employs smart, talented, positive people with sound judgment, a can-do attitude, and a zeal for teamwork.
A Team Culture
Rho values a strong team spirit highlighted by loyalty, accountability, and mutual trust and respect across the entire organization. We work smart together, we work hard together, and we laugh together.
Quality
A high quality customer experience matched with high quality science has always been Rho’s passion. We satisfy internal and external customers time and again by listening carefully, thoroughly understanding, and then tailoring a solution to meet their needs. By caring, we create quality.
To Think Critically and Creatively
Rho values thinking. We think both critically and creatively, drawing on our native ingenuity, sharpened and enhanced by our intellect, training, and experience. We evaluate situations and opportunities objectively and incisively; we then craft novel, practical solutions.
Agility and Adaptability
Rho values the ability to change quickly. We eagerly anticipate, respond to, and take advantage of changes in our environment. Change is not without risk. We embrace risk, but manage it with planning, accepting and learning from both failures and successes. The opportunity to adapt and evolve energizes us.
Stability
Stability—financial, workforce, and corporate—is the foundation of our quality customer experience and our quality culture. Maintaining stability requires rejection of individuals who consistently clash with our core ideology or who lack competence. Most importantly, stability creates a safe environment for Rho employees to take risks, innovate, learn, and develop over a long and rewarding career.
The Cohesion Effect: What makes Rho different
At Rho, we believe that success in clinical research isn’t just about expertise—it’s about how we work together as a research community. Our culture of collaboration, our commitment to scientific rigor, and our ability to bring the right people together at the right time create something greater than the sum of its parts, with all of us working together. We call it The Cohesion Effect. And it’s what makes us different.
