FIBROSIS PRECLINICAL CRO SERVICES

Physiogenex provides high quality fibrosis preclinical CRO services in order to help clients develop new treatments targeting fibrosis.

We provide outstanding scientific expertise, optimized in vivo fibrosis models and golden standards in biomarkers and histology analysis.

As a pioneer preclinical CRO in the NASH/MASH and liver fibrosis field, we now expand our fibrosis preclinical models to help our clients moving forward quickly with their drug candidates. We deliver the standard models for liver, kidney and lung fibrosis but are also continuously working on optimizing this widely used models in the field of anti-fibrotic drug development.
