MD Biosciences expansion to increase capacity in pre-clinical drug discovery services and products for inflammatory and neurological diseases.

MD Biosciences (MDB), a contract research organization offering pre-clinical services and products in support of drug discovery for inflammatory and neurological diseases, relocated its U.S. office from 1000 Westgate Dr, St Paul, MN to 2575 University Ave W, St Paul, MN on October 3, 2009. The new location equips MD Biosciences with more lab space, allowing for increased capacity for in vitro services and product development and manufacturing to increase product offering.

Eddie Moradian, President of MD Biosciences states, "At MD Biosciences, we have always promised our clients that we will meet their needs now and in the future; our expansion ensures that commitment. We doubled our lab space so that we are able to provide 150 percent more services and increase product development by 130 percent in the coming year in comparison with the last.

Our relocation is just one step of many in the endeavor to continue to offer the highest quality services and products in assisting our customers in meeting their objectives. Future projections include adding more highly specialized scientists to our team and increasing our focus on our available products and proprietary reagents."


About MD Biosciences

MD Biosciences provides products and pre-clinical services, which include efficacy testing, mode of action platforms, in vitro analysis, histology and imaging for the Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Animal Health & Nutrition Industries. We offer several novel models in the area of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Multiple sclerosis, asthma, IBD, pain, and Parkinson's disease. The in-depth expertise in these disease models has been applied to designing protocols to assess the efficacy and required dosage of novel compounds. Contracted studies are designed and reviewed by MDB’s panel of internationally recognized experts and performed at one of MDB’s specialized laboratories located in St. Paul, MN (USA), Glasgow (Scotland) or in Israel . We provide a ready team of experts to tackle problems and provide solutions. MDB also supplies for purchase by all laboratories many of the products and proprietary reagents used in our research, regardless of whether MDB is contracted as a research organization. This allows our clients to optimize their own research process by selecting steps to be performed by MDB and research to be performed in-house.

MD Biosciences Expands Its Preclinical Contract Research Services by Offering Myocardial Infarct Models.

Wednesday, March 4, 2009, St. Paul, MN - MD Biosciences, a Preclinical Contract Research Organization (CRO), announces today that it has expanded its preclinical contract research services by launching a line of in vivo models for the study o fmyocardial infarct and vascular disease. These models enable the evaluation of drug treatment for myocardial infarct.
New models include:
-       Ligation induced acute cardiac infarction
-       Coil-induced acute cardiac infarction
-       Balloon-induced cardiac ischemia reperfusion
-       Multi-focal myocardial infarct
-       Induction of vascular disease

 

These models offer the flexibility of protocol design for monitoring a variety of parameters such as ECG, invasive blood pressure, SpO2, ETCO2, and PPV. Readouts offered include ECG, Echo, Angiography, cardiac MRI and blood tests for relevant parameters such as CPK. All tests are analyzed by expert cardiologists in collaboration with the Heart Institute, Sheba Medical Center of the Tel Aviv University.

The expansion of these service capabilities, along with the addition of scientific staff, indicates the stability and forward growth of the company. MD Biosciences complete services portfolio offers efficacy testing, mode of action analysis, biomarker and gene expression analysis and histopathology services. In vivo models include Collagen Induced Arthritis (CIA), Antibody Induced Arthritis, OVA-induced Asthma, DSS and TNBS induced IBD, EAE/Multiple Sclerosis, Neuropathic Pain, Nociceptive Pain, Post-operative Pain and Parkinson’s Disease. In vitro cell based services include assays for screening of inflammatory effects, cell signaling pathway screens, enzyme inhibition assays as well as molecular mode of action assays. eba Medical Center of the Tel Aviv University.
