IS YOUR SCIENCE MOVING FASTER THAN YOUR CRO?

ACCESS A DEDICATED SENIOR TEAM, WITH A SINGULAR FOCUS ON YOUR RESULTS

LET US BUILD YOU A TEAM SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO YOUR PROJECT NEEDS.

Concept Life Sciences is your specialized CRO partner for innovators across North America.

We’ve supported teams like yours before and know what it takes to move complex science forward. That’s why we build senior specialist teams around your program - delivering the speed, continuity, and hands-on partnership needed to keep momentum high and accelerate breakthrough results.

We’re a specialist CRO built for focus. You won’t face handoffs, shifting teams, slow decisions, or being deprioritized. You’ll have scalable full-time equivalent (FTE) support for long-term programs, or flexible cost-effective fee-for-service (FFS) work, to achieve your next biotech success.

From day one you’ll be paired with a specialist scientific lead and team who understands the biotech world where:

  • Priorities change.
  • Investor milestones matter.
  • Timelines are critical.
Steven Holshouser PhD
Head of Business Development, North America
Alex Hasler PhD
Director of Business Development (East Coast)
Adam Davenport PhD
Chief Scientific Officer

Your dedicated team will move quickly to deliver results fast, with flexible execution as your program evolves, and hands-on troubleshooting where real scientific problem solving, is at the core of their expertise.

Trusted by Biotech and Pharma worldwide

Breakthrough science doesn’t happen in handoffs, silos, or status calls; it happens when senior scientists stay close, problems get solved fast, and priorities can pivot. We’re proud to support biotech innovators and established pharmaceutical organizations, including trusted global partners across discovery and development.

“We came up against a challenge, Concept’s protein scientists stepped in and led the way for us with successful production of functional protein. Thinking outside of the box, they then designed a method for biophysical readout, enabling our team to assess target engagement. A creative team brought us answers on this challenging target!"

Vice President, AutoImmune Drug Development - Toralgen Inc.

Novel targets need specialized assays, not generic workflows

Supporting complex discovery programs that require precision, creativity, and deep expertise is in our DNA, when traditional CRO approaches aren’t enough, we’re built for projects including:

Novel targets - Proven for solving immunology challenges quickly, from immune activation to cytokine-driven mechanisms and functional models. Read the case study.

Complex biology - Where the biology is challenging, the model is unconventional, or the target requires custom thinking as demonstated in this case study: Production of a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) protein to assess target engagement.

Custom assay development - Strategies designed for the complexity of degrader biology, including protein turnover and pathway-linked readouts.

Specialized immunology workflows - From pathway validation to translational assays, we support inflammasome-focused discovery programs requiring deep mechanistic insight and precision immunology.

One senior team. One clear path to results.

“Choosing Concept Life Sciences was easy. It was clear from early conversations with their team that they had extensive immunological understanding and a deep interest in key parts of our research.”

Michael Agrez, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer, InterK Peptide Therapeutics

Staying ahead of emerging scientific trends enables us to develop new assay capabilities fast, often before our clients even know they’ll need them, such as our organotypic brain slice inflammasome assay.

Concept Life Sciences - committed to keeping you ahead.
