Presentation of company's activity
HawkCell provides in vivo 3D MRI services on animals (from 1 to 150kg). We extend the potential of preclinical studies with accurate and quantitative analysis of physiopathology processes for testing new drugs or medical devices. Using MRI, HawkCell offers additional in vivo information about tissue structure, biochemical content and functional parameters for neurology, cardiology, oncology… applications in controlled health status. Thus, we provide in vivo insights about drugs and medical devices, such as innocuity, biocompatibility… Our 1.5T MRI system and post-processing algorithms have been optimized for animal imaging to reduce study time, and to increase financial profits and the amount of in vivo data.
Key features of company
