NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TransPerfect, the world's largest provider of language and AI solutions for global business, today announced it has acquired Synterex, a Dedham, Massachusetts-based disability-owned and woman-owned consulting firm that provides clinical and regulatory writing, development, and technology-enabled solutions for the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Synterex combines clinical and regulatory writing expertise with AgileWriter, an AI-assisted authoring platform designed to accelerate the development of regulated content. The company's approach helps reduce manual effort while maintaining the governance, traceability, and human oversight required for regulated environments.

The acquisition enables an integrated workflow for regulated content from authoring through submission. The combined offering expands TransPerfect's existing medical writing capabilities across document types and therapeutic areas while reducing handoffs across the content lifecycle. It also helps organizations adopt AI-assisted medical writing without sacrificing the safeguards regulated environments demand.

"From our first conversations with TransPerfect, it was clear that we shared a vision for the future of medical writing," said Synterex Founder and President Jeanette Towles. "Synterex was built on the belief that deep scientific expertise, agile ways of working, and responsible technology can improve how clinical and regulatory content is developed. Combining Synterex's expertise and technology with TransPerfect's global infrastructure and client relationships gives us an opportunity to advance that work while continuing to put quality, human judgment, and the needs of our clients and patients at the center of our next chapter."

Synterex will operate as a division of TransPerfect Life Sciences. Towles and the Synterex team will remain with the company following the acquisition.

TransPerfect President and Co-CEO Phil Shawe commented, "Jeanette and the Synterex team have built an outstanding technology and business. We're excited to join forces and bring combined capabilities to customers."
