Descriptiontext

The company operates a specialty life-sciences tools and services platform centered on in vitro preclinical testing systems that replicate in vivo environments for drug development research. Its core offering is organized under the Gentest® brand and spans two integrated lines: (1) branded reagent products — primary human hepatocytes (Gentest® Hepatocytes), recombinant enzymes (Supersomes®), cell-based transporter assays (TransportoCells™), and human liver microsomes — for in vitro ADME-Tox testing; and (2) ADME research services covering enzyme induction, enzyme inhibition, reaction phenotyping, and transporter interaction studies designed to support IND-enabling submissions. The portfolio is positioned as regulatory-guideline-aligned and is sold to biopharma companies (primary), cell & gene therapy developers, clinical diagnostics firms, and government, nonprofit, and academic research institutions.

PR NewswireDISCOVERY LIFE SCIENCES ACQUIRES REACHBIO RESEARCH LABSDiscovery Life Sciences has acquired Seattle-based ReachBio Research Labs to enhance its cell biology capabilities and accelerate drug target assessments. This strategic move expands Discovery's consolidated drug discovery offerings, complementing previous acquisitions such as IVAL and Corning's Gentest business unit.LelezardDISCOVERY LIFE SCIENCES ACQUIERT REACHBIO RESEARCH LABSDiscovery Life Sciences has acquired ReachBio Research Labs, a Seattle-based specialist in cell biology and drug screening services. This acquisition aims to expand Discovery's preclinical drug discovery capabilities and accelerate the evaluation of new drug targets. The move positions the combined entity to capitalize on regulatory shifts like the FDA Modernization Act 2.0, which reduces animal testing requirements.PR NewswireA Platform for Screening Drugs To Treat Sickle Cell Disease Now Offered by ReachBio Research LabsReachBio Research Labs, a Seattle-based contract research organization specializing in primary cell assay services, has launched a new drug screening platform to assess fetal hemoglobin (HbF) protein induction in drug candidates for treating sickle cell disease and related hemoglobinopathies. The platform uses a serum-free cell culture system with primary human bone marrow cells and directly measures HbF protein levels, addressing a gap left by hydroxyurea, the current standard treatment to which 30–50% of sickle cell patients are unresponsive. The company reports increased inquiries from drug developers and academic researchers, supported by FDA fast-track and orphan drug designations aimed at accelerating sickle cell disease treatment development.PR NewswireReachBio Research Labs Offers New Services for ADC Off-target Toxicity and Linker StabilityReachBio Research Labs has launched new assay services designed to evaluate off-target toxicity and linker stability for antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). The company developed two distinct platforms, including a colony-forming cell assay for cytotoxicity assessment and a neutrophil differentiation assay to test linker construct stability. These services aim to help clients rank compounds and provide rapid, cost-effective alternatives to in vivo models.PR NewswireReachBio Celebrates 10 Years in BusinessReachBio Research Labs, a Seattle-based contract research organization (CRO) specializing in primary cell assay services and products, is celebrating its 10th anniversary in September 2017. Since its founding in 2007, the company has expanded from offering primarily hematopoietic colony-forming assay services to providing a comprehensive platform of in vitro and in vivo assays, primary cell products, and a new drug development platform called cellPrism, while executing over 450 study contracts for clients from more than 120 global organizations. To mark the milestone, ReachBio is offering a 10% discount on product orders.PR NewswireReachBio Research Labs Launches a New Drug Development Platform, cellPrism®ReachBio Research Labs, a Seattle-based contract research organization, announced the launch of its new drug development platform cellPrism®, which provides biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies with customized in vitro assays to evaluate drug efficacy and toxicity across nine toxicology and immunology program challenges. The platform uses primary blood and bone marrow cells from humans, non-human primates, dogs, rats, and mice to generate predictive data for clinical outcomes and IND submissions. The company positions the platform as a visual and comprehensive solution to better address client needs as it expands its service offerings.
