Concept Life Science is a knowledge-based, science-led and customer-focused contract research and manufacturing organization. Our services are built on expert knowledge, collaboration, flexibility and extensive in-house resources – from discovery to GMP-certified manufacture.
We originally formed in 2014, following the merger of Agenda1 Analytical Services, Peakdale Molecular, and CXR Biosciences. We then grew and specialized through a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisition, including Aquila Biomedical.
We cover activities for discovery and development across a range of sectors, including discovery chemistry, specialist biology in immunology, oncology and neuroscience, biologics, biophysical assay services, ADMET & DMPK, bioanalysis, toxicology, histology and GMP manufacturing.
We also offer a wide range of Physicochemical Analysis, Materials Characterization and Analytical chemistry services. As the CRO services of Malvern Panalytical, we offer bespoke, robust analytics backed up by Malvern Panalytical’s physicochemical expertise and unparalleled data quality, providing rapid, confident decision-making.
