About
At the heart of what we do is a culture of collaboration and innovation. Altasciences operates as a forward-thinking, mid-size early phase contract research organization based in Canada and the U.S. For over 30 years, we have been reimagining how biotech, biopharma, and pharma companies outsource their early-phase drug development. Our mission is to streamline the drug development process, allowing our clients to focus on their core research while we handle the intricacies of moving a molecule from preclinical phases through to Phase II and beyond. Our team functions as a flexible and attentive extension to our clients, offering comprehensive services that range from preclinical safety testing to clinical pharmacology trials. We pride ourselves on our proven, flexible approach, ensuring that we tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each biopharmaceutical company we partner with. We understand that in the fast-paced world of drug development, timing can make a huge difference—by leveraging our integrated services, clients can experience up to 40% savings in program durations. We believe in creating a true partnership through solid communication and exceptional science, dedicated to getting better drugs to the patients who need them, faster.
