Benefits of Working with Preclinical Translational Services
When you partner with us, we become an extension of your study team. Our purpose is to complement your expertise.
Study Design
Get the most mileage out of our team by including us in the beginning of your study. As you design your study, we can help you choose the appropriate animal model, set the scope and write the IACUC protocol based on our knowledge of animal care and procedures. Whether you are working on a grant application or an industry proposal, we can help you determine a realistic budget and timeline—details which can create smooth sailing for the future of your study.
Animal Models
Your study may require an animal model you haven’t used before or don’t have access to. We can help you gain access to our nonhuman primate resources, and we are experienced at sourcing animals from other locations to meet the requirements of your study. We house many of our nonhuman primates socially according to European Standards and follow strict protocols to ensure your animals receive the care they need.

Our team has experience working with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies. We understand what industry sponsors and regulatory bodies expect from preclinical data, and we can ensure the data from your study will meet their expectations. We partner with the Alliance Management team that facilitates collaboration with industry by managing the contract process and providing project management support.
Facilities & Equipment
By collaborating with us, you also gain access to our state-of-the-art GLP-compliant surgical suite and associated specialized equipment, such as fluoroscopy and laparoscopy.
