About Us
UBC was founded when an important trend in the pharmaceutical industry was identified: the increasing demand for evidence of how medical products would perform in the real world – from both economic and clinical perspectives.
To address this need, United BioSource Corporation was launched in 2003 to help sponsors gather data in large, real-world settings to demonstrate that their medications were safe, efficacious and cost-effective.
The best scientific minds, the most innovative technology and the most experienced project managers were brought together to give our clients unparalleled support in development and commercialization across the lifecycle continuum.
In 2010, UBC was acquired by Medco Health Solutions, Inc., an evidence-based research organization focused solely on novel research, analytics and new discoveries that close the gap between scientific discovery and medical practice for improved patient outcomes and lower overall healthcare costs.
Today, UBC is a global scientific and medical affairs organization comprised of over 2,100 colleagues in over 25 countries across the globe dedicated to meeting the needs of life science companies by providing real-world evidence. We design and execute product development and commercialization programs for clients throughout the industry. UBC is a leader in peri- and post-approval product development; safety and risk management; health economics and outcomes research; pricing, coverage, reimbursement, and access strategies; and medical publications and communications. Our specialized research support solutions and tools – such as rater certification and investigator training programs – are recognized and respected throughout the global medical community. Moreover, UBC is a leader in the design and deployment of customized technology to ensure the efficient, secure and reliable collection and storage of research information.
Simply put, UBC has covered a lot of ground in a very short time. We will continue building our roster of scientific experts, designing and executing the industry’s most innovative product support programs, and offering the latest customized technology, with a laser focus on delivering the highest level of service and quality for our clients.
