The search for novel treatments in oncology encompasses identification of relevant tumour-specific targets, design of interventions and assessment of therapeutic efficacy in relation to other anti-cancer agents.

• PRECOS scientists can collaborate either as a stand-alone service or as part of an integrated research programme.
• Under the auspices of a research agreement, PRECOS will ensure that specific objectives are defined, and the work is rapidly progressed to generate high quality pre-clinical data facilitating a more accurate projection of results to the clinic.
• A dedicated, experienced Project Co-ordinator will manage all aspects of the research and development programme according to specific individual needs.
• The PRECOS team of expert scientists can assist in the selection and execution of appropriate analytical systems by a staged approach of in vitro studies, in vivo model development, subsequent in vivo mechanistic and therapeutic evaluations and post-study analyses and deliver added value by providing specialist scientific interpretation of the data. Following completion of the experimental phase, PRECOS rapidly delivers preliminary data followed by a draft report including statistical analyses. A final report, agreed with the sponsor, provides a high quality record of the work.
