The drug research and development process is highly complex, lengthy and expensive, yet essential for delivering safe and effective drug therapies to patients. With more than 60 facilities in 15 countries, Charles River helps clients navigate this process with a wide range of products and services that can be tailored to specific research needs. Our portfolio covers four distinct phases of drug research and development: basic research, drug discovery, safety assessment and manufacturing support​. As a result, we are able to work with clients at the earliest stages when critical decisions are made, and continue to move downstream with them through the preclinical development process.
