LIDE renewed an existing VERIF.i® certification and completed an
additional on-site visit to evaluate its facilities, personnel and
processes
Scientist.com, the pharmaceutical industry’s leading R&D
marketplace, announced today that LIDE Biotech has successfully
completed VERIF.i® on-site assessments at two of its China-based
facilities—Shanghai and Xi’an. VERIF.i is Scientist.com’s on-site
pre-assessment program that helps suppliers of regulated services
demonstrate the quality and standards of their laboratories to both
existing and prospective clients.
LIDE is an award-winning, translational medicine contract
research organization (CRO) with over a decade of experience
delivering preclinical drug evaluation services globally. In
addition to offering innovations in oncology translational research
and immune-oncology, LIDE has a collection of over 2,000 patient
derived xenograft (PDX) models covering 50+ cancer types, of which
200+ are special drug resistant and/or genetically altered. The
company owns AAALAC accredited SPF level Animal Centers, safety
level 2 laboratories and world-class, state of the art
equipment.
“We’ve adopted the highest global operational standards at LIDE,
ensuring our facilities and processes not only meet but surpass
industry expectations,” stated Dr. Danyi Wen, President and CEO of
LIDE Biotech. “VERIF.i is one more way to demonstrate our
commitment to quality and compliance to our biotech and
pharmaceutical clients globally.”
VERIF.i provides LIDE Biotech and other suppliers of regulated
research services, including human biospecimen acquisition, animal
studies and chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) services,
the opportunity to proactively communicate the quality and
capabilities of their laboratories against pre-defined criteria
developed specifically for the biopharma industry. Independent,
third-party auditors carry out on-site inspections, the results of
which can be shared with clients or used to improve lab
operations.
“On-site assessments of laboratories have always been difficult
to complete due to high costs and intensive resource and time
requirements,” stated Matt McLoughlin, SVP of Categories and
Compliance at Scientist.com. “VERIF.i provides a new and viable
solution for marketplace sellers and buyers alike. It enables a
high-quality supplier like LIDE to differentiate itself from its
peers by sharing information about its facilities, personnel and
processes. At the same time, it eliminates redundant work and
ultimately saves both buyers and sellers time and money."
VERIF.i is an expansion of Scientist.com’s award-winning COMPLi®
solution. For more information visit
