Yes. MuriPhys can participate as a research partner in CDMRP, university-led research grants and SBIR/STTR projects. We work with the lead applicant on our scientific scope, budget, facilities, supporting documents and research execution.

MuriPhys is a preclinical contract research organization in Durham, North Carolina. We support study design, in vitro and tissue assays, mouse and rat in vivo and in-life studies, functional assessments and coordinated analysis.

We can help develop a scientific study scope, budget inputs, timelines, facility descriptions and vendor-support materials, and discuss how the proposed research can be executed.

Yes. We collaborate with university teams on studies and specialized procedures. Share a core quote and we will work hard to match pricing for comparable work, where feasible.

ELISA, PCR, immunohistochemistry and cell-based or study-specific assays. We agree on the method, sample requirements, controls, readiness work and deliverables for each project.

In-life work is the portion of an animal study conducted while the animals are alive. It can include treatment administration, observations, functional testing and serial sample collection, according to the approved protocol.

No. Start with the hypothesis, planned model or samples, intended endpoints and timing. We can help develop the practical study scope.

Compare equivalent models, readiness activities, quantities, procedures, sample analysis and reporting. MuriPhys discusses feasibility and cost before agreeing the written scope. Our study-delivery page explains the factors.

MuriPhys combines shared bench and vivarium space in Durham with in vivo and in vitro equipment. Your researchers can carry out the work, add MuriPhys researchers for capacity or specialist expertise, or ask us to execute an agreed workstream. Access, equipment, staff support and terms are agreed individually.

For selected startups, MuriPhys can offer an initial in vivo proof-of-concept study at cost. Opportunities are reviewed individually and scope and terms are agreed before work begins.
