Expanded Neuroscience Capabilities
In August, Charles River announced the acquisition of Brains On-Line, a neuroscience-focused provider of microdialysis and in vivo efficacy and pharmacokinetics testing. Together, Brains On-Line and Charles River are a premier early-stage research and development partner for neuroscience drug discovery. During Neuroscience 2017, visit the Brains On-Line, a Charles River Company, Booth (#935) for select poster reprints and to speak to experts in neuroscience research.
Supporting Neuroscience Research
Over the years, Charles River has donated to research organizations to help advance novel drug discoveries.
