  • SEND Dataset Delivery Submission-ready datasets to streamline regulatory review.

Species Selection to Empower Your Tox Studies

BioLegacy’s extensive multi-species capacity, from rodents to non-human primates (NHP), provides the flexibility to design the most scientifically sound and translationally relevant toxicology studies. Our pharmacologically relevant species and adherence to ICH guidelines for both a rodent and non-rodent model ensures a comprehensive evaluation of your therapeutic’s safety profile. Integrating our deep toxicological expertise with this broad species flexibility, we empower our partners to make critical go/no-go decisions with confidence and accelerate their path to the clinic.

Available species include:

  • Non-human Primates
  • Dogs
  • Mini-pigs/Pigs
  • Rabbits
  • Mouse
  • Rats
  • Sheep
  • Guinea Pigs
  • Hamsters
  • and more
If you need a different species, just ask. We can almost certainly provide it.

  • Collaborative Protocol Development We partner with you to design studies that are optimized to meet your specific scientific goals and regulatory endpoints.
  • Agile Study Management A flexible operational framework designed to efficiently manage mid-study changes and protocol amendments.
  • Proactive Communication & Reporting A commitment to regular, scheduled updates and interim data reports to support timely internal decision-making.
  • Integrated Scientific Expertise Access to in-house toxicologists, pathologists, and bioanalysts for multidisciplinary input on study design and interpretation.
  • Full Regulatory Transparency Open communication regarding all study conduct, QA audits, and data generation to ensure complete confidence in your GLP program.

Extensive Analytical Capabilities

A robust toxicology study is underpinned by precise and reliable analytical data. BioLegacy’s deep in-house bioanalytical capabilities are fully integrated with our toxicology services to provide a seamless data generation workflow for early-stage discovery toxicology or GLP-compliant, IND-enabling studies. Rigorously characterize and quantify drug exposure (toxicokinetics), anti-drug antibodies (immunogenicity), and key pharmacodynamic biomarkers. From gold-standard LC-MS/MS for small molecules to advanced ligand-binding assays using our Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) platform for biologics, we deliver the high-fidelity data required to accurately interpret toxicology findings and support confident decision-making.

  • GLP-Compliant Bioanalysis For IND-enabling studies, all method development, validation, and sample analysis is conducted in accordance with global regulatory guidelines (FDA, OECD).
  • LC-MS/MS Expertise High-sensitivity quantitative analysis for small molecules, metabolites, and peptides in a wide range of biological matrices.
  • Advanced Ligand Binding Assays (LBAs) High-throughput immunogenicity and biomarker quantification using ELISA and multiplex electrochemiluminescence (ECL) on the Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) S-PLEX platform.
  • Integrated Toxicokinetic (TK) Analysis Seamless transfer of toxicology samples to our bioanalytical lab for rapid analysis and TK parameter calculation by experienced pharmacokineticists.
  • Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) Assays Development and validation of screening, confirmatory, and neutralizing antibody assays to assess immunogenicity.
  • Biomarker Analysis Quantitative measurement of key biomarkers to correlate drug exposure with pharmacodynamic response.
