IDSC recommends CROs that are best suited for success. We do not broker or represent CROs, but are compensated only by our clients and do not receive fees, or kickbacks from CROs that we recommend. We work with approximately 70 CROs offering services in chemistry, in vitro and in vivo pharmacology, ADME, and safety/tox. Our recommendation of CROs to clients is driven by a business philosophy to identify the right CRO to fit the client's needs for the particular task at hand.
