Life sciences video production in Boston
Trusted by biotech, pharma, medical device, and healthcare organizations, Charles River Media translates hard science into video and animation that investors, partners, clinicians, employees, and patients actually understand — produced steps from the Cambridge life-sciences cluster since 2004.
Charles River Media is a Boston and Cambridge life sciences video production company that specializes in turning complex, scientific, and clinical subject matter into clear video — for biotech, pharmaceutical, medical device, and healthcare organizations.
Since 2004 the team has produced scientific animation, medical education, investor, and patient-facing content for the region’s life-sciences ecosystem — from venture-backed biotechs and pharma to medical publishers, digital health, and research institutions.
It’s a strong fit for organizations whose message depends on getting the science right: biotech and pharma communications and IR teams, medical and scientific affairs, digital-health and med-device product marketing, medical publishers and CME providers, and life-sciences venture firms that need one partner for strategy, filming, animation, live streaming, and post-production.
A sample of the biotech, pharma, medical, and digital-health organizations Charles River Media has produced for:
Life sciences video, by type
Life-sciences video isn’t one thing. Charles River Media works across the formats life-sciences teams actually need — each with its own audience, accuracy bar, and production approach.
01 Scientific & MOA animation
Mechanism-of-action, pathway, and platform animation that makes an invisible process visible and accurate.
02 Investor & IPO video
Story-driven video for raises, roadshows, Portfolio Days, and board and LP updates — refined with 5AM Ventures and its portfolio.
03 Medical education & CME
Adaptive-learning and CME/MOC content, produced with the New England Journal of Medicine’s Knowledge+ platform.
04 KOL & physician interviews
Interview production with scientists, clinicians, and executives — calm on set, careful with the message.
05 Congress, symposia & live
Conference capture and live streaming for scientific meetings, user conferences, and hybrid events.
06 Patient & shared decisions
Patient-facing and shared-decision-making video — the heart of a decade of work with ACP Decisions, in hundreds of languages.
07 Product & platform demos
Digital-health, device, and software demos that show how a product works — such as the Sunoh.ai product demo.
08 Facility, lab & field films
On-location production in labs, hospitals, and facilities — including The Jackson Laboratory in Maine.
09 Multilingual libraries
Scalable, repeatable production for large multi-language video libraries with consistent quality and branding.
Built for regulated, scientific, high-stakes content
Life-sciences video carries more weight than most — it’s read by investors, reviewed by scientific and medical affairs, and sometimes seen by patients. That raises the bar on accuracy, discretion, and process.
Science-first storytelling
We work with your scientists and clinicians to keep the message accurate while still making it land — from mechanism-of-action animation to KOL interviews. Getting the science right is the starting point, not an afterthought.
- MOA & pathways
- Data visualization
- KOL interviews
- Scientific review-friendly
Comfortable in clinical & corporate settings
Labs, hospitals, executive offices, and conference stages each have their own etiquette and constraints. We plan for confidentiality, access, and sensitivity so a shoot runs smoothly in regulated environments.
- Lab & hospital shoots
- Confidentiality / NDA
- On-location crews
- Executive presence
Long-term partnerships, at scale
The strongest signal in life sciences is repeat work: a decade with ACP Decisions, ongoing production for NEJM, and multi-year relationships across pharma and venture. We’re built for programs, not just one-off shoots.
- Multi-year programs
- Large video libraries
- Multilingual delivery
- Repeatable quality
Rooted in the Cambridge cluster
Charles River Media works inside one of the world’s leading life-sciences ecosystems, producing for venture firms and portfolio companies like 5AM Ventures and Summit Partners. That proximity means we already speak the language of Boston-area biotech, pharma, and digital health.
