1 Broadway 14th Floor Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02142 United StatesLikarda is a cell therapy and delivery R&D company with expertise in cell-based products. We have developed a number of innovations in this area over the years and are moving many in our pipeline to the clinic as therapeutics in addition to growing our platform. Likarda’s foundational technology is based on cell encapsulation and delivery in hydrogels using our patented Core-Shell Spherification(TM) (CSS) system. Unlike technologies that utilize alginate or modify alginate (which is basically a bandaid for a temporary solution), Likarda utilizes readily available and biocompatible hydrogel materials such as hyaluronic acid, PEG, and a number of other chemistries to microencapsulate cells. These hydrogels are already being used and successful in wound healing, cosmetics, as dermal fillers, and in join viscosupplements. This can produce superior biocompatible cell-based treatments by either: (1) Durable: coating the cells in an immunoprotective barrier for injection/transplant for long-term treatments, or; (2) Degradable: injectable cell therapies in a slow-release, degradable formulation enabling localized cell release over time and increased efficacy. CSS if versatile, enabling both durable and degradable versions, and can be applied to several cell therapy indications for pets and humans. Likarda also has expertise in hydrogels in other formats as well. Our team has experience with chemistries of these materials and how to modify them in both microencapsulants and as bulk hydrogels to fit your needs.

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.
