Assay Biology & Screening Services
Assay development, screening, and mechanism studies, scoped to your biological question

Flexible scientific support built around your preclinical problem
FDA's March 2026 NAM guidance set four bars for non-animal models: context of use, human biological relevance, technical characterization, and fit-for-purpose. That's the standard we build to — for cosmetic efficacy claims, nutraceutical bioactivity studies, and early discovery programs alike.
We take projects at any stage: a custom experimental strategy, proof-of-concept data, assay development, or full study execution through to a recommendation.
Capabilities
Operating out of a 5,000 sq. ft. GMP-compliant facility, YBL-IDD delivers robust, high-throughput assay biology services powered by state-of-the-art screening and analytical infrastructure. Our multidisciplinary team of 15+ PhDs and Master’s-level scientists brings over 50 years of combined industry experience across pharmacology, cell biology, and assay development. From custom biochemical screenings to complex phenotypic readouts, we translate biological complexity into reproducible, decision-ready preclinical data.

Before You Start
Tell us the biological question you're trying to answer and, if you have one, the endpoint you're working toward. We'll scope a timeline once we know the compound number, timepoints, and assay complexity — we don't quote a generic figure upfront.
