Biopta is the world leader in the use of fresh functional human tissues for drug development.

Based in Glasgow, UK, Biopta has been providing contract research services to the pharmaceutical industry since 2002 and has established itself as the world leader in the use of fresh human tissues to better predict drug activity prior to clinical trials.

Using ethically sourced and obtained human tissues, Biopta is able to provide early indications of drug safety, efficacy and absorption. Our human ex vivo pharmacology models bridge the gap between in vivo animal data and the clinic.

• Human safety assays: predict adverse effects in healthy human tissues
• Human efficacy assays: use diseased human tissues to demonstrate drug efficacy
• Human absorption assays: use respiratory and gastrointestinal tissues to predict drug absorption

This invaluable human data is available during early discovery and development phases and helps reduce the number of compounds which fail in the later stages of drug development.
