Advancing Innovation Through Collaborative Research & Development Engagements

Research Collaborations

Improving clinical outcomes through innovation requires a multi-disciplinary approach to research and development.

Virscio is progressing a diverse portfolio of projects and programs that promise to enable more efficient development of novel medicines while improving the odds of clinical success. Our R&D activities are critically enabled by a variety of external funding and industry collaborations to ensure we are incorporating the most innovative thinking and scientific resources to ensure we are meeting the most pressing unmet translational and therapeutic needs.

These projects and programs span new in vivo model development to novel data technology development and cross-species data mining technologies that promise to improve modality / model / target alignment as a basis for improving translation of preclinical models to clinical outcomes. Our ability to study a demographically diverse primate population with phenotypes relevant to specific study and R&D aims provides a unique biological and resource efficiency basis to advance these innovations. 

If you have a collaborative interest in a translational model, tools, data, and/or technologies that align to our mission of improving clinical outcomes through better preclinical modeling, please reach out&emdash;we would love to talk science and potential impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are biological advantages of utilizing African green monkeys from the St. Kitts colony?

What are biological advantages of utilizing African green monkeys from the St. Kitts colony?

St. Kitts green monkeys are among the most biologically clean large primate populations globally and have passed through a population bottleneck to emerge as a greatly expanded population with a favorable degree of homozygosity for recruitment of study cohorts with limited genetic variability. This allows recruitment of animals of a specific phenotype, genotype, age and/or size to align biology to intended clinical demographic or available test article quantities.
How many monkeys are there in St. Kitts?

How many monkeys are there in St. Kitts?

There is estimated to be 60,000+ monkeys on St. Kitts and neighboring island of Nevis.  Due to the ecological and agricultural risks this population presents, we have partnered with the St. Kitts government to actively manage the population through thoughtful biomedical research use.
Can I use US grant funding to support studies at your research site in St. Kitts?

Can I use US grant funding to support studies at your research site in St. Kitts?

Yes.  As a US company, Virscio has a long history of successfully securing NIH and other US government grant funding to support research and development programs.  Additionally, we are frequently supporting academic and industry-sponsored programs that have been funded by the RO1, SBIR, ARPA-H, and other granting mechanisms and agencies.

What are the opportunities to directly and remotely monitor studies conducted with the St. Kitts green monkey?

What are the opportunities to directly and remotely monitor studies conducted with the St. Kitts green monkey?

Virscio welcomes on site sponsor and study monitor visits with attention to animal and visitor health and safety through appropriate medical screening procedures. Virtual observation of procedures is also routinely supported.
