About us
Your trusted partner from Concept to Clinic
Our history
We are a multi-disciplined Contract Research Organisation based in the UK, providing market-leading scientific services globally. Over the past 25 years, Concept Life Sciences and its heritage companies have played a pivotal role in guiding numerous clients along their path to clinical success and many of these clients have evolved into enduring scientific collaborators.
Within a decade, the collaborative efforts of experts from our heritage businesses — Peakdale Molecular, CXR Biosciences, Aquila Biomedical, and now in 2024 Charnwood Discovery — have propelled us beyond the cumulative impact of our individual components, fostering substantial growth and advancement.
As we go into 2025 and beyond, I’m confident we have the world-class team and infrastructure to deliver on those values that speak to our nature as scientists.
