We Can Discover More Together
Frederick, a city full of history and heritage, is home to Southern Research's a major portion of our infectious disease research program.
World War II began the changing of the face of Frederick. Most notably was the establishment of Fort Detrick, a center of biological warfare research. Today Frederick is recognized for its thriving biotechnology and research environment, and Southern Research employees can enjoy living in an area that is robust in scientific discovery, but also near to some of our country's most treasured historical attractions.
With the arrival of newer residents has come new ideas, and with the cooperation of longtime citizens there has been a cultural revival. The Weinberg Center for the Arts and the Delaplaine Center for the Visual Arts are rallying places for local talent and nationally known artists. The Keys baseball team makes news every year.
Frederick, as Maryland's second largest city, has a bright future with its expanding economy and stable quality of life. The city's historic Clustered Spires still inspire an appreciation of the past while looking ahead to a changing world.
