Training
VO-CRO staff members are poised to train your personnel in cell- and animal-based study techniques to facilitate your discovery and drug development efforts. We have extensive expertise with cell-based models of growth factor and cytokine induction by disease-relevant stimuli and of induced cell behaviors relevant to ocular disease. We also have long-standing experience with animal models of ocular angiogenesis, vascular regression, vascular inflammation and neurodegeneration. Further information can be found under models. Your personnel may visit the VO-CRO laboratories for customized instruction in the use of these models. Please contact us to learn more about our training services and for pricing.
