Monitored alarmed facilities

• Storing samples in monitored alarmed facilities is outsourced to the IMVS.

Consulting

• PARC principals and affiliates are available for consulting on the interpretation of pre-clinical data, the need for additional pre-clinical data, the adequacy of data for a regulatory package and advice on design and interpretation of studies. PARC principals are members of Scientific Advisory Boards of local and overseas pharmaceutical companies. They are also available for assessment of project feasibility and technical due diligence.
• We can provide input into study design both as a single centre for proof of concept trials and also as a participating centre in later phase multicenter trials.

Facilities

• In addition to executing studies ourselves the PARC clinical facility can also be made available to other local investigators planning to undertake specialised studies.
