Pharmacology

In the current era of innovation in drug discovery, biotechnology, medical devices or natural products, a key factor in evaluation of a newly designed molecule or product is to obtain robust and quality data from optimally designed experiments.

We at TheraIndx endeavour to meet these criteria. TheraIndx offers wide range of animal disease models covering a variety of critical therapeutic areas such as infection & AMR, oncology, metabolic disorder, wound healing, dermatology, inflammation & pain & neurology. We actively consult with our partners in selection of appropriate models as well as establish and validate new models.
