To reduce costs and streamline their internal processes, bio/pharmaceutical and biotech companies are increasingly outsourcing many of their internal operations related to the development of their therapeutic compounds, including preclinical testing. That said, contract research organizations (CROs) are playing a more important role in providing critical testing services required for internal validation purposes and submission to regulatory agencies. Navigating the preclinical testing process can be a somewhat confusing, if not difficult, task including identifying the proper partner for conducting the necessary studies to help advance a promising lead compound from the discovery phase to the initiation of investigational new drug (IND) process.
