Client Success Stories

“We chose Mispro instead of building our own facility. The result has been accelerated timelines, confidence in data, and a clear path to clinical. Being able to focus on our research instead of also running and staffing a vivarium facility was the right choice for our company.”

Clinical Stage Gene Therapy Company

Sr. Research Technician

“Mispro has carefully and expertly designed both its facility and supporting services to enable researchers to conduct studies with precision and confidence. We’ve doubled our in vivo capacity in less than a year as a result of our success in Mispro’s research environment.”
