basic research 

One of the growing challenges in the industry is the effective development of a strong pipeline of new medical entities. With decades of experience in research model development combined with broad multinational preclinical expertise, Charles River is uniquely able to support your basic research needs.   

In vivo and in vitro research models are at the heart of the research process, providing chemists, toxicologists, and pharmacologists with information about how therapies work in living systems as well as which cellular and genetic targets are associated with a disease. As a result, choosing the appropriate model for your therapeutic area of interest is one of the most crucial decisions you will make early on in your research.  

Charles River is one of the world’s leading providers of research models, producing many different strains, including disease-specific models, for basic research and beyond. With more than six decades of experience, we have developed unmatched expertise in veterinary medicine and science. Our portfolio has expanded to encompass not only the breeding and welfare of research models, but all of the scientific services, consulting, and staffing needs required to support quality in vivo research programs.
