Client success stories

“Our experience working with Mispro has been really great. Both the facility supervisor and the IACUC coordinator have been a great help to our team. From the set-up of our rooms to managing the daily needs for our animal studies, to helping with our animal protocols, their level of service is commendable.”

Nivetha Murugesan

Sr. Scientist

“Mispro gives us peace-of-mind knowing that our investment is in qualified hands. Their vivarium facilities, accredited program, and caring staff affords our team the time to focus on and achieve our very specific needs.”

Research Associate

Clinical Stage Gene Therapy Company

“The service and help I receive from Mispro’s team on a daily basis is outstanding. They are very efficient and promptly accommodate any request that we have, which has enabled Casebia to successfully complete our studies within tight deadlines. Mispro really does a great job!”

Mariacarmela Allocca

Sr. Scientist

"We have outsourced our in vivo proof-of-concept studies in the past and the data was variable and lacked critical observations. Bringing our work in house in Mispro’s expertly run research environment has allowed for better controls and cleaner results.”

Preclinical Translational Medicine Scientist

Platform Biotechnology Company

“Mispro has been a key partner in Kallyope’s success. Everything they offer from animal care services to IACUC has always been performed exceptionally and rapidly. Animal work is one of the cornerstones of our company and Mispro has been instrumental in helping facilitate success in our studies.”

Ben Van de Graaf

Operations Manager

“The convenience of working in Mispro’s vivarium has been instrumental to our preclinical program. From the close proximity of our lab to their state-of-the-art research facility, to their unmatched animal care and compliance services, Mispro has played a vital role in our success.”

Senior Associate Scientist

Clinical Stage Pharma Company

“Mispro’s facilities and services are a great resource for early-stage biotechs, offering them an affordable and reliable choice for in vivo studies that accelerates timelines and enables impactful science.”

Ed Field

President

“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.”

Sr. Research Technician

Clinical Stage Gene Therapy Company

“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.”

Shannon Shields

Group Leader, GenEdit

“Conducting our studies in Mispro’s contract vivarium has been a highly effective solution. Their flexible space options, experienced IACUC, and dedicated animal care staff have directly added value to our preclinical program and the quality of our animal studies.”
