Faster Start to Nonhuman Primate Studies to Meet Planned IND Filing Timelines
Many of you are experiencing significant delays (up to 12 months!) in initiating nonhuman primate (NHP) studies. With Altasciences, the time-to study initiation can be as short as two to three months following contracting, thanks to our steady supply of NHPs.
At Altasciences, we do not rely on a single-source NHP supply chain. We remove the stress of sourcing research animals so that you can start your studies faster, with:
- dedicated and diversified Cynomolgus monkey supply agreements in place to allow for faster start-up timelines
- a continuously maintained and backfilled population of hundreds of naïve NHPs at our preclinical facility
You can schedule newly contracted NHP studies to start in late Q1 and early Q2 2022 immediately.
Contact us to schedule your NHP studies today.
