COVID-19 RESEARCH SUPPORT

COVID-19 RESEARCH SUPPORT TOOLS

BocaBio has been involved in solving the worlds pandemic concerns for three decades. We provided vital research support to the Dx and Pharma communities during the Zika outbreak of 2016. Little is known about the research that we continued to support on Zika even now in 2020. With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, BocaBio's entire team has been allocated to tackle this problem. We have focused our full capabilities as a hybrid CRO in the following ways to enhance all stages of diagnostic development as well as therapeutics.

  • Providing biological specimens critical for discovery R&D for Dx and therapeutic development, through our Biobanx division
  • Offering critically needed COVID-19 testing for PCR as well as serology through our CLIA/CAP accredited BocaBio Reference Lab division
  • Prospectively collecting both confirmed positive and negative COVID-19 patients for clinical trials support of Dx and Pharma development

As always, our entire BocaBio family stands vigilant, together, behind the scenes, doing our part to serve our community. 

Be safe, help others
