Brian Carpenter, a principal in CRA’s Life Sciences Practice, tragically passed away in July 2025 as a result of the Texas floods.

Brian was a valued member of the Life Sciences Practice. He joined CRA in 2017, bringing over a decade of experience in commercial strategy and customer insights across the life sciences industry, with deep expertise in therapeutic and portfolio strategy, particularly in neurology, immunology, and oncology. He was notably dedicated to his work, his teams, and his clients, leaving behind a legacy of strong relationships and enduring friendships both within CRA and beyond.

Brian was a devoted husband and father. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Brian’s family, friends, and loved ones during this profoundly difficult time. His contributions and kindness will be deeply missed and remembered by all those who had the privilege of working with and knowing him.
