Preclinical | Translational Services
We support projects at every stage, from
proof-of-concept to regulatory submission.
End-to-End Preclinical Services from Candidate Screening to IND‑Enabling GLP Studies
Preclinical and translational research plays a vital role in bringing safe, effective therapies to market. We offer comprehensive support, from early-stage candidate screening using AAV vectors or other advanced modalities to GLP-compliant dose-ranging and toxicology studies with rigorous QA oversight.
Our services also include histopathology and image analysis to evaluate safety, vector tropism, and transgene expression in both non-GLP and GLP settings. With proven experience in regulatory submissions to the US FDA and international agencies, we are well-equipped to help advance your therapeutic programs with confidence.
In Vivo Services
We offer a robust suite of preclinical services to support the development of advanced therapeutics, including cell and gene therapies. Our services include a variety of administration routes and utilize advanced techniques to ensure precise delivery and monitoring.
