IN VIVO METABOLIC STUDIES FOR DRUG EFFICACY

In vivo metabolic studies are a mandatory step for the development of drugs targeting metabolic disorders. Using our unique and benchmarked animal models, we deliver golden-standard and innovative experiments to demonstrate your drugs’ efficacy. Benefit from our validated radio-tracer based experiments and technical platform to dissect the mechanism by which your drug treats metabolic disorders.
