Exact Clinical Research Certified as a Women Business Enterprise by the State of California

Exact Clinical Research, a pioneering flexible contract research organization (Flex CRO) providing tailored clinical trial support for biotech, pharmaceutical, and global health sponsors, today announced it has achieved Women Business Enterprise (WBE) certification from the State of California.

This certification recognizes Exact Clinical Research as a woman-owned and operated clinical research organization, formalizing its commitment to diversity, leadership, and innovative clinical development solutions. Known for its adaptable model that blends full-service capabilities with right-sized resourcing, Exact Clinical partners with sponsors to advance complex clinical programs, accelerate study timelines, and manage operational challenges across diverse therapeutic areas.

“As a woman-owned organization, this certification is an exciting milestone that reflects our values of agility, high-touch expertise, and purpose-driven execution,” said Shaily Garg, CEO of Exact Clinical Research. “Our Flex CRO model was built to meet sponsors where they are, offering precise, senior-led support that scales with program needs and keeps patients at the center of everything we do. This recognition from the State of California further amplifies our commitment to excellence, inclusion, and advancing clinical research that matters.”

Exact Clinical’s Flex CRO approach allows Sponsors to engage services à la carte or as integrated programs — including clinical strategy and operations, regulatory affairs, project management, data management, quality assurance, and commercial assessment — enabling leaner budgets, faster project start-up, and dynamic execution tailored to program velocity. With leadership averaging decades of industry experience, the company has supported successful clinical trial execution from the IND through the NDA/BLA phase across oncology, rare disease, neurology, infectious disease, and more.

The Women Business Enterprise certification enhances Exact Clinical’s ability to collaborate with Sponsors who prioritize supplier diversity while ensuring rigorous, compliant, and efficient clinical trial conduct for therapies that address urgent and unmet medical needs.
