ex vivo Pharmacology & Biomarkers

Mesoscale discovery is employed to study the mode of action after performing cell-based functional assays.

The purpose of ex vivo analysis is to confirm the in vivo effect of test articles and to find out the correlation between in vivo efficacy and biomarkers. 

Our ex vivo team has years of experience and can support your drug discovery program by providing ex vivo pharmacology & biomarker analysis services.

Study sample types include blood, plasma, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), tissue extraction, urine and feces and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).
