Asterand, Inc. · Detroit, MI United States

Asterand operates a biorepository, but cast out of your mind any visions of pickled livers and brains floating in large clear jars. The company collects donated specimens of diseased tissue and sells them to researchers to help them better understand and treat such ailments as prostate, breast, and lung cancer, as well as autoimmune, cardiovascular, inflammatory, psychiatric, and respiratory conditions. In addition to supplying these biological samples to researchers, Asterand offers such services as high-throughput screening to speed drug discovery and collaborative research. The company acquired Pharmagene in a reverse merger. To read the full description, subscribe now.
