In vivo Pharmacology Studies and Services

We are an efficient partner for in vivo pharmacology services with experience in multiple therapeutic areas, target-specific models, and a team of highly competent scientists.

In vivo pharmacology is essential to evaluate the complex physiological effects of a drug in the living organism. Aurigene offers in vivo pharmacology studies to assess the effectiveness and early toxicity of small compounds and large molecules. Our in vivo pharmacology services are backed by an AAALAC-accredited vivarium.

Our expanding disease models include areas such as pain management, inflammation and auto immune diseases, metabolic disorders, oncology, and infectious diseases.

Transforming Drug Discovery with Aurigene.AI

In the early 2000s, developing Sovaldi, a hepatitis C treatment, took over a decade and nearly $2 billion. Similarly, Zolgensma, a gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy, required 15 years due to its complexity. However, the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized drug discovery. For example, in 2022, Pfizer's PAXLOVID, an oral COVID...
