SMC Laboratories is highly regarded worldwide as a consulting CRO that designs studies in line with the demands of pharmaceutical companies and research institutions.
In particular, in the MASH/NASH field, SMC is a highly regarded CRO, because of our unique STAM™ mice.
The results achieved with our STAM™ have been introduced in academic publications as well as scientific conferences.
