Red Nucleus to Acquire Bridge Medical Consulting, Expanding Health Economics and Outcomes Research Capabilities

Deal enhances existing value, evidence, and market access solutions as demand for economic and outcomes services accelerates

YARDLEY, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Red Nucleus, a leading provider of strategic services across research and development, medical affairs, market access, commercial, and learning & development, today announced that it has acquired Bridge Medical Consulting, a specialized health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) consultancy. The acquisition represents a key step in Red Nucleus’s strategy, strengthening its ability to help biopharmaceutical companies demonstrate the clinical and economic value of increasingly specialized therapies in a complex regulatory and reimbursement environment and bolstering its current set of capabilities within HEOR.

Founded in 2011, Bridge Medical Consulting is recognized for its expertise in evidence synthesis, integrated evidence planning, population insights, health economic modeling, and statistics, partnering with pharmaceutical and biotech clients across Europe and the United States. The firm brings deep scientific rigor, a global client base, and a differentiated approach that combines domain expertise with artificial intelligence–enabled workflows to deliver decision-grade evidence at speed and scale.

“With payers and regulators placing unprecedented scrutiny on drug pricing and value, HEOR has become mission-critical for life sciences companies,” said Mike Menta, Chief Executive Officer of Red Nucleus. “This acquisition enhances our ability to support clients across value, evidence, and market access. Bridge Medical Consulting’s expertise, culture, and forward-looking approach to technology make them an exceptional fit for Red Nucleus, and we’re excited to welcome their team.”

Specifically, the addition of Bridge Medical Consulting expands Red Nucleus’s ability to support customers as they navigate evolving global requirements, including increased demand for real-world evidence, joint clinical assessments in Europe, and more rigorous value-based decision-making by health authorities worldwide. The combined organization will offer customers of both companies a more comprehensive, integrated approach spanning evidence synthesis (including systematic literature reviews (SLRs) and indirect treatment comparisons (ITCs)), evidence planning, evidence generation, economic modeling, statistics, RWE research, and strategic advisory.

“Joining Red Nucleus allows us to scale our impact and offer clients a broader, more integrated set of services,” said Paul Gandhi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bridge Medical Consulting. “We share a commitment to scientific excellence and to thoughtfully applying AI and related technologies to enhance rigor and efficiency, while keeping expert judgment at the center of our work. The combined platform brings together complementary expertise that will benefit customers of both companies.”

Bridge Medical Consulting will be merged with Red Nucleus’s existing HEOR business under Monique Martin, Global Head of HEOR. “I am very excited to partner with the brilliant Bridge Medical Consulting team who bring a range of HEOR capabilities to Red Nucleus. I have been particularly impressed by their robust and transparent approach to developing applied AI solutions, especially to decision-grade SLRs, combining the best of AI with the best of humans to yield the highest quality client outputs. From the high uptake of Bridge Medical’s AI-enabled offerings, it is clear that clients also value this innovative, robust, and transparent approach,” said Monique. HEOR is part of Red Nucleus’s broader, global Value & Evidence organization.
