About the Company

Altasciences

Integrated CRO for early-phase drug development

Altasciences provides integrated early-stage drug development services, covering preclinical testing, early clinical trials, and contract manufacturing. It functions as a single, in-house CRO that coordinates discovery support, safety testing, clinical research, and manufacturing to streamline a program from start to early proof of concept. The company differentiates itself by offering an end-to-end, one-stop path rather than requiring clients to contract multiple vendors. Its goal is to help innovator programs move quickly and efficiently through early development to speed up decision making and progression to later-stage trials.
