CN Bio and Pharmaron Establish Long-Term Strategic Partnership to Develop OOC Technologies on a Global R&D Platform
The initial phase of the collaboration will focus on validating CN Bio's PhysioMimix technology for current applications in disease modelling, toxicity testing and absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) studies. Following successful validation, the companies will work together to adopt the platform in priority R&D areas and co-develop novel applications to expand the capabilities of OOC technologies.
Pharmaron is a global drug R&D service platform, providing end-to-end services across drug discovery, preclinical, and clinical development. Through the partnership, CN Bio will install PhysioMimix instruments at Pharmaron's facilities across the globe, enabling the joint development of cutting-edge OOC solutions tailored to evolving R&D challenges.
Dr Paul Brooks, CEO, CN Bio, said: 'Pharmaron is a global, premier and trusted service provider for the life sciences industry. As such, Pharmaron were the ideal partner for CN Bio as we look to accelerate the growth of our OOC solutions portfolio in new and existing application areas.
