Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Pharmacology
Comparative Biosciences has extensive experience in cardiac, pulmonary and vascular pharmacology modeling, including atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, LAD model and balloon angioplasty with stents. We are happy to provide detailed study designs and validation data upon request. CBI offers a variety of models, and we can also design custom models to meet your needs.
Importantly, CBI prepares and provides state-of-the-art-studies with high quality comprehensive reports that are suitable for regulatory submission.
