At every stage—from planning to execution and reporting—we maintain full transparency and integrity, fostering trust with clients and advancing scientific discoveries responsibly.
Seamless Transition from In Vivo to Histopathology
Bridging In Vivo Insights and Ex Vivo Precision
At Virscio, our commitment to comprehensive research extends well beyond in vivo testing. We seamlessly integrate ex vivo and histopathological analysis into our workflows, ensuring that each study yields deeper insights into a therapeutic’s mechanism of action, safety, and potential efficacy.
Coordinated Study Design
Our scientists design each in vivo study with downstream analyses in mind, collecting samples and data in a way that optimizes ex vivo evaluation. This reduces the need for repeated experiments and minimizes animal usage, in line with our ethical research principles.
Advanced Histopathological Techniques
We leverage cutting-edge techniques—such as immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and AI-driven image analysis—to provide detailed tissue-level data that complements in vivo observations.
Conclusive Translational Insights
By merging in vivo outcomes with histopathological findings, we offer comprehensive reports that elucidate drug action, potential off-target effects, and efficacy markers. This holistic view accelerates decision-making for sponsors and paves the way for more successful IND submissions.
Why It Matters
