How We Work
To Achieve Your Goals
Initial Consultations
At Excellerate, our Initial Consultations serve as more than just an introduction.
Excellerate work with worldwide SME and pharma clients on projects covering all stages of preclinical drug discovery from target identification and validation through to preclinical candidate studies, and across small molecule and biologic programs that span a diverse range of therapeutic indications.
We thoroughly research your project background and address anticipated challenges, aligning with your objectives to mitigate risks and instil confidence in our approach. Informed, we define precise research questions and adapt our approaches accordingly in our Tailored Project Proposal.
Tailored Project Proposal
Following our Initial Consultations with you, we prepare a Tailored Project Proposal with your key research questions and outline our recommended approaches.
We communicate our proposals with you, utilizing our expertise in pharmacology and custom assay development solutions to effectively address anticipated research challenges.
Excellerate believe that your success is our success, and we prepare a tailored project plan to best support this. This includes clearly outlined project timelines, resource allocations and target milestones.
We understand that ‘one size does not fit all’ and are flexible in our proposals, offering go/no-go options at various stages of your project progression. In addition, we offer both fee-for-service and monthly FTE arrangements, giving you the options that best suit your project requirements.
Bespoke CRO Lab Support
With your Tailored Project Proposal in place, our expert team of scientists initiate Bespoke CRO Lab Support to best complete your project milestones.
We believe that in the evolving drug discovery landscape, ‘off-the-shelf’ assays and generic approaches to experimental planning can fall short in addressing the complex nature of your project challenges.
This is why Excellerate offers custom assay development, supported by both state-of-the-art facilities and decades of collective experience in pharmacology and cell biology. Our flexible approach allow us to tailor our lab support and adapt to your evolving needs, whilst offering ongoing consultancy as your project progresses.
We offer further support via collaborations spanning various UK academic groups, giving you access to additional cutting-edge technologies and leading expertise. We believe the best results come from working side-by-side with you, sharing knowledge to cultivate transparency, trust, and a shared success.
Data Generation And Reporting
Throughout your Bespoke CRO Lab Support, we place a strong emphasis on ensuring timely Data Generation and Reporting of your data in a concise and understandable format to support your project decisions.
We handle your data flexibly, working to your preferred method of reporting and are experienced working with a wide variety of analysis software and databases. We take accountability of our experimental results with QC checks and rigorous data scrutiny to ensure robust experimental optimisation for reliable and reproducible data generation.
We believe this is essential in giving you confidence to make informed decisions faster to accelerate your drug discovery program and meet your timelines.
By focusing on developing long-term partnerships with our clients, we gain a deep understanding of your business and project needs to tailor our ongoing consultancy, laboratory support and data handling & reporting for you.
