Expertise
Our team of neuroscientists are experts in the science and pharmacology involved in pain and neurodegenerative diseases. As a focused and specialized CRO, we bring valuable scientific expertise that addresses common challenges researchers face. To bridge the gap between preclinical and clinical applicability, we go beyond rodent models and have developed pig models to enhance clinical translation. Preclinical models are complemented by in-house histology, biomarker analysis, and electrophysiology capabilities. From model selection to endpoint analysis, we understand how to develop studies that will move your compound further in the development pipeline.
Experience
The most expensive study is the one that has to be repeated due to poor study design or less-than-perfect execution. Our team has experience in all aspects of a study to execute it flawlessly. From surgical methods to drug administration, we have the expertise to accurately induce the disease and dose your therapy as needed. Our experience in behavior analysis and tissue harvesting for endpoint analysis ensures accurate and high-quality data sets. Capabilities beyond standard behavior data enhance the clinical relevance of study results. You can be confident in using the data to make critical decisions in your development program.
Flexibility
There's nothing quite like having your own lab right down the hall. The next best thing is a relationship with an outsourced partner that feels like an extension of your lab. Our team is highly committed to your study and will form a relationship that provides direct access to scientists for help in study design and result interpretation. Our lead time from the first call to executed contract and study start is incredibly rapid. In fact, sometimes we are able to move faster than your internal lab.
The MD Biosciences team is incredibly professional and attentive to detail. I routinely talk with the study directors to discuss specific details on protocols, for help in designing an experiment, for selecting the most appropriate assay for my question, and to help interpret study results. What I find truly spectacular is that I do not have to routinely check in on ongoing studies, the team is constantly updating me on their progress and I know exactly where my study is in terms of progression.
We were very pleased by our partnership with MD Biosciences. We had a true collaboration with their team in that they worked to understand our needs, incorporated our input into a plan, and executed on the shared vision. We were in frequent contact with the team including weekly calls to update us on the work and gather feedback on the progress.
The MD Biosciences team was instrumental in providing the scientific expertise we needed. They did a great deal of extra research to help guide us and we were grateful for their input. The whole team was extremely open to feedback throughout the process and made sure that our needs were met. They worked extremely well with many different members of our internal team, at all levels.
