Species for regulatory toxicology studies include rodents, small animals, ferrets, gerbils, rabbits, dogs and pigs/minipigs, by standard and unusual or specialized routes of administration.

We feature rapid study initiation and report preparation to meet sponsor deadlines or milestones. We comply with FDA, OECD, and IHC guidelines and have a validated computerized toxicology data acquisition program (LABCAT). Our study directors are experienced, communicative, and attentive, and we produce high-quality GLP reports in a very timely fashion.

We specialize in toxicology packages for unusual or problematic test articles/indications or aggressive time lines. Recent examples of unusual delivery routes would include successful studies using intracerebral delivery, intranasal delivery, myocardial delivery, intratumoral delivery, intrarectal delivery, human stem cells, and virus-associated test articles. CBI recently has completed successful IND packages in the areas of oncology, stem cells, CNS, IBD, atherosclerosis, metabolic disease, and wound healing.
