ReachBio Research Labs is a life sciences company based in Seattle, WA. Since being founded in 2007, we have provided a range of cell biology custom research services to a wide variety of clients ranging from virtual biotech companies to large international pharmaceutical companies. We have gained a reputation for customer service, responsiveness and scientific excellence. We strive to be much more than a just a CRO – we aim to be your primary cell biology research partner.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to help our clients expand their organizations’ capabilities by efficiently harnessing our extensive knowledge and expertise in clinical and industrial primary cell and stem cell biology for their own benefit. Our services are provided promptly, efficiently and with the highest level of confidentiality and professionalism.

OUR FOCUS | FUNCTIONAL & PREDICTIVE PRIMARY CELL ASSAYS

Our focus is on the clinical, industrial and research uses of primary cell biology – in particular the use of stem cell and progenitor cell assays and model systems for high value applications such as drug screening and drug discovery. We are experts at performing well-characterized, biologically relevant, high-content in vitro and in vivo functional assays and interpreting their results. Whenever possible, we avoid the use of artificial model systems utilizing long-term cell lines as well as low content assays with simplistic readouts such as proliferation and cell death. Instead, our in vitro assays use minimally manipulated primary cells (bone marrow, cord blood, mobilized blood, stromal/mesenchymal cells, etc.) from humans and other species in order to obtain multiparametric, high content data with maximum biological relevance.

OUR MODEL | FEE-FOR-SERVICE CONTRACT SERVICES

ReachBio Research Lab’s contract assay services and contract research services are provided via a fee-for-service model in which the client owns all new intellectual property generated through the provision of our contracted work.

OUR SERVICES

Our contract assay services focus primarily on applying biologically relevant in vivo and in vitro primary cell assays (e.g. stem cell, progenitor cell and fully differentiated mature cells) for assessment of drug candidates and other agents.
