(Hayward, CA) is a precision medicine company developing products across indications on a proprietary active chromatin cell-free DNA (cfDNAac) platform. Because the platform requires deeply characterized patient material, Aqtual has built end-to-end biospecimen procurement infrastructure spanning US clinical sites and international collection partners, and now supplies that same material and capability to research partners across all major therapeutic areas. • Partners can acquire specimens alone, specimens with matched cfDNAac data, or commission prospective collection with molecular profiling built into the protocol. cfDNAac data generation may require an additional SOW through Scientist.com's biomarker service contract.
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.
