Administered by Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, the research park is a science and technology-based economic development project with a particular concentration in the Life Sciences sector. Companies and the Wake Forest School of Medicine faculty in PTRP focus on pioneering breakthroughs in biotechnology and advanced medicine, and create innovative solutions to improve our lives, our future and the world around us. Piedmont Triad Research Park represents the Medical Center’s vision for the future of innovation in healthcare.
