MIR
Preclinical Services (MIR) is a contract research organization
(CRO) located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. MIR specializes
in the preclinical assessments and
evaluation of novel anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory therapeutic agents. The company's senior leadership has over 100 years of drug discovery experience utilizing xenograft,
orthotopic and transgenic animal models. MIR offers
additional services such as preclinical efficacy testing,
non-invasive imaging, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, in vitro testing
and consulting.
MIR
employs a wide array of novel imaging technologies including
preclinical MRI, CT (µCT), high resolution PET
(µPET), bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging
to measure response to therapy at anatomical, functional,
and molecular levels. We can measure biological processes,
such as signal transduction, angiogenesis, apoptosis
(proteases), DNA damage, and other biologically relevant
processes important in animal models of human disease.
MIR also performs basic research to develop these technologies
and actively seeks collaborations to further imaging
in the field of drug discovery.
