Our Mission: Reduce operational risks in areas of applied biomedical science where research results have direct or indirect commercial value and have an impact on competition. Improving pre-clinical Research Quality by introducing standards to applied research will enhance robustness and trust in scientific theories. More importantly, this will also smoothen the way from excellent scientific hypotheses to increased clinical efficacy. By assessing and accrediting quality in pre-clinical research, we expect a reduction in clinical failure rates, and thereby, saving of valuable resources.
