Safety Pharmacology
JOINN Laboratories has been engaged in safety pharmacology evaluations for almost 20 years. All study designs are based on the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Tripartite Guidelines (S7A, S7B) and NMPA regulations. With years of experience, our safety pharmacology team provides “full-scope evaluation services” to sponsors.
