Translational Services
Imaging Endpoints uses cutting edge imaging technology to assess the activity of experimental compounds in translational studies. Our value proposition is to design and conduct pre-clinical imaging trials that inform and support your product development while ensuring a critical translation of findings into the clinical trial environment. We evaluate the activity of experimental compounds using clinically relevant and translatable in vivo imaging methods.
