Like you, we believe that having more human relevant disease models will expand scientific knowledge and de risk drug development. We use human iPSCs to achieve this and have been doing so since 2006. We use donated cells from patients and iPSC technology to build physiologically relevant in vitro models. We have a special focus on neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease as well as cardiotoxicity to promote drug safety. When working with candidate compounds or novel therapies, our in vitro platforms give you better earlier stage modeling and safety testing and later stage efficacy evaluation and improved patient selection. With these data comes better insights, helping you de-risk projects, reduce costs, and save time during drug development. At Axol Bioscience, we help your science with better models of human disease. Since our merger, the company is Censo Biotechnologies trading as Axol Bioscience. All invoices and documentation should be addressed to "Censo Biotechnologies trading as Axol Bioscience."

The Contract Research Map is owned and maintained by Scientist.com. It was created to help researchers in the life sciences identify and connect with contract research organizations (CROs) based on geography. Updated nightly, this map features all of the available CROs within our network, so you can order services with a few clicks. Click on a specific country, scroll on the map itself or type into the search bar at the top—there are many ways to find the location and suppliers that you’re looking for. From Argentina to New Zealand, use this map to connect with a CRO near you.
We believe that every researcher across the world should be able to connect with the thousands of global CROs that exist and have the opportunity to work together. Like many industries,the life science supply chain has been disrupted over the last year. But there are many other circumstances such as international customs regulations or sensitive shipping times that create limitations around which countries are feasible to partner with. Sometimes, finding a CRO based in a country that best suits your research needs is imperative. We hope this contract research map allows you to find the right partner in the right place at the right time.
Have questions or feedback? We’d love to help. You can find our FAQs and contact information on the Learn more page.
