Nonclinical

Service lines & lab disciplines

Where science and technology meet efficiency and compliance.

Discovery

At the earliest stage of bench research, there are thousands of potential possibilities. This is when you need quick data to make smart go/no-go decisions. With our extensive experience, fast starts and rapid data delivery, you can expeditiously discover the best candidate(s) to move forward.

Toxicology

Establish the safety profile, dose range and side effects of your molecule with a full portfolio of general and specialty toxicology services. Your toxicology study is driven by an experienced toxicology team supporting a full range of models and routes.

Pharmacology

Determine the potential therapeutic and side effects of your drug candidate, with specialized pharmacology services for your therapeutic areas. Progress from discovery through IND/CTA with our integrated approach: an optimized way to meet ICH requirements while lowering the safety endpoint risks on your compound.

Metabolism and pharmacokinetics

Comprehensive DMPK/ADME studies and computational modeling prior to clinical studies offer greater insights into pharmacokinetic and drug-drug interactions across every phase. Employ studies earlier to minimize program failures later.
